We both know he spent all offseason working on this. The majors there are those who can and those who cannot, and those who cannot are quickly moved out. He has benefited from his good defense and the rebuild situation that has given everyone time to show if they are ready. This is his third year in the majors, 832 at bats. I don't know what to tell you if you honestly believe a change in grip or batting stance is going to offer him 50ish more hits because he is fast. You still have to hit the ball to race to first, he strikes out a lot too.
he is what he is, it's been this way since college
