This year it's -6.6%. He's improved with the curveball to. He jumped from 1.2 to 2.0. He plate discipline has gotten better. I am also concerned why I have not seen to many - if any at all - drag bunts. With his speed, he should be able to leg quite a few of those out.
His D is impeccable, also. I think he rated as the best Defensive CF in the league.
Can you imagine what his value would be with an average bat? I say he would be like a 4ish WAR player. Very, very solid.
Not giving up hope, either. Just worried that his second year in the league he has gotten worse vs better at the plate. All other aspects he has markedly improved on.
I was talking in regard to base stealing and why his percentage is higher.
