Panik went 1-for-5 with a home run and a pair of RBI in Thursday's win over the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Panik is well on pace to surpass the eight homers and 37 RBI he posted in 100 games last season. While the increased power is welcomed, his .300-plus career batting average hasn't carried over. He is striking out a bit more than usual, but a .255 BABIP (.330 BABIP last season) is the likely culprit. Those who own Panik should hang tight as his average is likely to rise over the course of the season and will look nice coupled with double-digit homers and decent counting stats.
