I guess the key point is "when he connects." The K rate is very bad.
His exit velocity being up so much vs. career norms is very interesting though. At this point in the season both the K rate and the EV are starting to cross the line in the sand where we can say they were probably descriptive of his actual talent level, to some extent, during his first 19 games (it can no longer be assumed to be mostly random variance.)
With his new 33% strikeout rate characteristic he might need to hit the ball like Sano or Schwarber to be an average player.
