FACTS/FLUKES: Bogaerts, Montas, Flexen, Grossman, R. Urias

Bogaerts not showing as much power … Xander Bogaerts (SS, BOS) launched a career-high 33 HR in 2019 and 23 HR in 144 games in 2021, so it’s surprising to see him with just 7 HR through 378 PA in 2022. He has still provided plenty of value with his contributions in other categories, but the power outage is concerning. How worried should we be?
