FACTS/FLUKES: Bryant, Peraza, Tapia, Lamet, Velasquez

Bryant returns to form... Kris Bryant had a down year by his standards in 2018, as the power production was lacking in the first half, then the second half was marred by lingering shoulder issues. He has rebounded in 2019, already connecting for 22 home runs, nine more than he hit a season ago. Is this level of production what owners should expect going forward?
