Garret Hampson, Victor Robles, César Hernández, and Joey Gallo. What do these four players have in common? They share the lead in MLB for bunt hits. If you remember the Joey Gallo from years past, you know that this is a huge turnaround. In 2018, this was an extremely viable strategy against Gallo.
