The hype train is coming to a halt. Hard to produce if you can’t make contact.

he really needs to layoff on the outside pitches. And while he has strikeout issues it seems to be more plate discipline than an inability to make contact. Even with his aggressiveness, his contact and whiff rates are nowhere near Gallo level bad.

Triple and home run along with 6 RBIs for today, now up to .258/.311/.470 (99 wRC+). That's still a solid MLB debut especially for a middle infielder.

13 HR and .235 av. Slowed significantly from that hot start.

No doubt he's got the god given ability. He runs faster than anyone, he throws harder than anyone, he hits the ball harder than anyone. But baseball can humble you because so much of it is mental. You start missing balls and it gets in your head. Going to be fun and interesting watching him in the future.

I could see him being very streaky a la Javier Baez
