FACTS/FLUKES: Ramirez, Ohtani, Clevinger, Heaney, Kepler

Ramirez fades in the second half...When we checked on José Ramírez (3B, CLE) in mid-August of 2018 he had earned $54 of R$ with a remarkable .301, 37 HR, 27 SB line. But he faded badly down the stretch, and ended up with a .270 BA, earning "only" $44. What was the reason for Ramirez' late-season stumble, and is there cause for 2019 drafters to consider fading him out of the first round?
