FACTS/FLUKES: Solak, Javier, Grandal, Gibson, Mountcastle
May 7 2021
Solak producing value in multiple categories to start the year... A popular "sleeper" option heading into 2020 and 2021, Nick Solak (2B, TEX) generated $18 in value last year, heavily driven by 7 SB in 209 AB. His 2 HR were backed by middling PX/xPX results, but in 134 PA in 2021 thus far, the 26-year-old has boosted his power metrics; resulting in 7 HR with a .286/.366/.487 line and 2 SB, netting $28. Currently a Top 50 player, can Solak keep up his torrid pace, or is he on the precipice of a significant decline?
