FACTS/FLUKES: Alonso, Goodrum, Fairbanks, France, J. Ross

In 2019, Pete Alonso (1B, NYM) set a new single-season rookie HR record and won NL Rookie of the Year, so when his batting average dropped off and his HR pace fell a little in his sophomore season, it was viewed as a disappointment. What do his skills tell us about his chances to get back to 50+ HR in 2021?
