Silly Stats: Blue Jays statistical outliers for batters early in 2016

The Toronto Blue Jays have completed their first full month of baseball: 30 games down, 132 to go. In the early-season flood of small sample sizes and unsustainable stats, a closer look at the numbers making the least amount of sense is often a good place to start.
