FACTS/FLUKES: Rizzo, Berríos, Springer, Sewald, Bassitt,

Rizzo on pace for another 30+ HR season ... Anthony Rizzo (1B, NYY) has maintained the power metrics he posted during his 32 HR season last year. Many drafters anticipated that his BA would improve because he was one of the most shifted-against batters in MLB last season. He faced a shift in 83% of his PA in 2022. So far, he's batting close to .300. Will he continue both his HR pace and his .300 BA?
