FACTS/FLUKES: Hoskins, Darvish, Grandal, Lowrie, S. Dominguez

Hoskins displays power and patience … Though Rhys Hoskins (1B/OF, PHI) unsurprisingly failed to duplicate the absurd HR pace of his 170 AB rookie season, he still put up a strong 2018 campaign, finishing with a .246 BA, 34 HR and 5 SB in 558 AB. Now with a full MLB season under his belt and a return to his natural position of first base after learning left field on the fly in 2018, what might be in store for 2019?
