I already know he's one of the best hitters in baseball. His K rate is 20% so far this year, so yeah he can be better. Many premier sluggers shorten up with two strikes and especially with a runner on third with less than two out (Ortiz,Miggy,Trout, just to name a few). EE makes no adjustment in these situations, but the frustrating part is that he can do it if he really wanted to.
