Remember Eugenio Suarez's chase for 50 HR a few seasons ago? I feel like that season broke him. At least for the Reds, I don't know how he's held up since the trade. But that was the first time in recent memory where I asked myself the same thing. How can a team keep a sucking black hole of Strikeouts and plate discipline in the 4-5-6 hole? Sure, a guy can run into one every 3-4 games, but how many of those are with guys on base? Or at a key time when a multi base hit is needed? Compared to how many inning-ending plays said player made trying to crush a HR?
