I have my fingers crossed that he continues! I would hate to sell all my 1/1 for $1!!!!

Well good luck, but I am pretty confident in saying he is not the best hitter in baseball, not even close. At 28 I doubt he's destined to be a star either. He's more likely a guy who's just having a hot month. Think Cody Bellinger, and he had a much better track record.
