I'm not even sure anymore that this is it
anecdotally, I don't remember a huge amount of warning track flyouts to CF or RF. Sure, he hits a number of them but it's not like this is repeatedly happening.
No, the failures tend to be lazy groundballs or double plays or cheezy pop ups.
So hard to fix him but I think it's just mental. He needs to:
- trust his instincts
- get started earlier
- swing harder
- try to homer or turn the ball to dust all the time
My gut says he is just stuck in a glass case of emotions in his head all the time. In between pitches, trying to be perfect, trying to pull line drives or serve singles into right field. Overthinking everything. Guessing and committing to swings without really seeing the ball first.
