Yoan just isn't right man

Maybe this is Yoan. Maybe he's a forever .750 OPS guy, give or take 20 points, who has a good eye & will play GG defense.

I have long defended the guy, but he needed a day off more than anyone lately and IIRC he never got one aside from a DH stint the other day

Why is he not swinging out of his ass on first pitch fastball down the plate? 

Probably taking after Irvin couldn't throw a strike against Vaughn. He got a real good fastball on 0-1 and fouled it back.

Could be, but given 2019 and some of the flashes we've seen I still hold out hope. A .750 OPS with good defense is a valuable player but he should be so much more.

Guarantee he could put up more than a .697 OPS against LHP with no power against them

He was completely lost before he went down. Plus his defense wasn't that fantastic.

Thinking 2019 is more the outlier and what we are seeing is the norm.  Which doesnt make him a bad player, but for a former no. 1 prospect in baseball its certainly disappointing.
