In his second series, he was 4 for 11, 3 BB, 0 2B, 0 3B, 0 HR, 2 RBI, 4 R, 2 SB and 4 SOs

In his third and most recent series, he was 0 for 12, 1 BB, 0 2B/3B/HR, 0 RBI, 2 SB and 5 SOs.

Notably, at least 2 of his 8 hits in the first two series were infield grounders that he legged out.

To put it bluntly, he was never going to keep up the pace he was on through his first 2 series. It's not ideal that he went O-fer in 3 straight games, but it's still an incredibly small sample size and his strikeout numbers have not gone up through the series.

Oh I get it. I fully believe he has Super Star written all over him, and most likely will be. Butt

How many rookies come into the league batting clean up? How many guys come into the league with the you're gonna hafta carry this team monkey on their back? Or however you want to put it?

I'm just saying I believe he might well be putting to much pressure on himself to be the hero at this young age and stage. Let him relax a minute and get rid of some of that pressure. Let him figure out he doesn't have to swing out of his shoes on every pitch.
