Are you at all concerned that his K-rate hasn't improved a whole bunch this season (K'ing in 28% of his ABs this year vs 29% last year)? I know Cheat has commented on it, but I'm interested in your thoughts...
I'm not that concerned it isn't improving, strikeouts will always be part of his game. You can find several examples of successful players who K in more than 25% of their AB's. I'm more concerned about him maintaining the improvement at the next level in areas necessary if you are gonna K a ton, BB%, XBH%. Both of which he has gotten better at every single year.
