FACTS/FLUKES: Hosmer, Price, Ti. Anderson, D. Duffy, Ed. Diaz
Sep 16 2016
Hosmer hits more homers...Lauded for his excellent raw power while in the minors, a heavy ground ball tilt in the majors had prevented Eric Hosmer (1B, KC) from fully leveraging his power tool, prior to the 2016 season. But he hit his then career-best 20th home run of the season early in September and is now on pace to finish with about 25 homers. What has the 26-year old Hosmer done to unlock this power in 2016, and is it sustainable?
