He started off a bit slow in 2017 then was brilliant until later in the year, then tailed off. Started slow this year again, got better (though maybe still not promotion level as last season, but still) and got promoted. I'm sure he thought he was more justified last season, but hey he's taking advantage so far in a limited sample size. We'll see though when AAA hitters start to adjust as the book comes out on him. Kopech started off great too.
