Sort of an aside from your piece on Will Smith and Dalton Rushing today: Did Carson Kelly legitimately improve his, well, everything? Superficially the plate discipline improvement looks insane, and he's also hitting the ball harder, it seems. He's outperforming his xstats but the xstats are still terrific, especially for a catcher.

Kelly is on my list as somebody to look into — he's having a bonkers season

Why are relief pitchers the most volatile position? Not enough innings/batters faced to have everything even out?

Small samples even under the best of circumstances, and as Jim Bouton famously observed, you're never more than a few outings away from being out of a job.

Will you (or another FG writer) be checking in on Mookie's defense so far? It's very early, but so far, he's been roughly a top 5 SS by most measures. Which, what?
