FACTS/FLUKES: Bautista, Iwakuma, Gardner, Lawrie, Fulmer

Bautista looking to pick up the pace as free agency looms…With some recent epic bat flips and wipe-out slides, nobody can make the argument that José Bautista (OF, TOR) doesn’t play the game hard. While his BA lags in the early season, the same could be said last year, and he had strong numbers at the end of the season. Can Bautista repeat his 2015 performance as his contract ends and he tries to push the Jays back to the playoffs?
