Panik homered for the second straight game Wednesday against the Mets as part of a 3-for-5 day with two RBI and two runs.
The offensive barrage continues -- Panik's now hit safely in 14 straight games and 32 of his last 34, a spectacular offensive showing that's surprisingly made him one of fantasy's more valuable second basemen this year. The 24-year-old is showing never-before-seen power -- his isolated slugging is currently higher than it's ever been at any stop in pro ball -- and though his BABIP is high at .352, that's only a few ticks higher than last year, so it seems he might be capable of sustaining a batting average around .300 while providing double-digit homers and a handful of steals.
