FACTS/FLUKES: McNeil, Suzuki, Longoria, Kela, Marquez

Is McNeil's second-half power binge sign of things to come?... Jeff McNeil (3B, NYM) proved that his strong 2018 debut was no fluke, as he delivered a .318 batting average and 23 homers in 2019. He hit 17 of those home runs during the second half of the season. Is a 30 homer, .300 average season within reach?
