Not sure I buy Belly’s bounceback given his StatCast numbers leading substantially lower X stats. Of course, even those X stats are pretty decent bouncebacks from last couple years of absolute horror… but I wonder if he’ll be able to keep on outperforming his X stats so much, especially if/once he gets traded.
