He is 2nd on the team with 128 strikeouts, he's dang near a slugger's strike out rate. He only has 44 walks ! If he would quit being such a free swinger and calm down and take some pitches his OBP would go way up.
He's a poor bunter, why doesn't he work hard at bunting ? Again he could raise his OBP way up if he was even an average bunter.
Why doesn't he try stopping the switch hitting and just bat left where he's better ? And it's faster to 1st base.
Why does he keep swinging out of his shoes ? Why doesn't he try being a slap hitter/punch n judy as they used to call it ?
I just don't get it ? I'm on the fence about him as his defense is other worldly. Damn if he could only get on base more !
His "eye" for the ball is clearly terrible. That's the only explanation to most of these answers IMO. The switch hitting thing was asked by the FO if I remember correctly, which doesn't make a lick of sense still.
