Pillar is actually swinging and missing at a higher rate this season. Couple that with a lower contact rate than last season, and he's a true mirage. It's all BABIP, which is currently 66 points higher than what he finished at last season. It's just luck - nothing to see here, unfortunately. Having said that, I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong.
Once again, Barker is a f***ing moron.
