He was outperforming his xwOBA by about 60 points. He didn't hit the ball hard consistently (yes, he was capable of it, but on average he was middle of the pack). His two-strike approach, while cool at first, became very overexposed and ultimately he just didn't have the ability to consistently do damage on pitches in the zone. This was all pretty apparent even when he was hot.On the other hand, the one and only notable red flag with Murakami is that he swings and misses at a very high rate. Unlike Mercedes, he doesn't chase pitches out of the zone, and he hits the ball (very) hard consistently. There's certainly a decent chance Murakami is not the .900-1.000 OPS hitter he has been so far, but I highly doubt he ends up being unworthy of a second contract. He has already been adjusting well to the pitchers' initial adjustments to him, so I tend to lean toward the optimistic side FWIW
18 hours ago18 hr I was joking. When @southsider2k5 mentioned guys getting figured out I thought we needed the poster child.Great analysis of the differences.

When the team stayed in Chicago he sold most of his shares to JR and left the scene.
