He's a .230 hitter that strikes out a lot. He has 8 in 6 games already. And he gets a pass on average as its mostly down across baseball. But he still K's a lot.
Those are all facts but I am more impressed with the stuff you can't measure. He sets the tone and is helping establish a ballclub of players who need to f**king approach the game a certain way and take winning as a team and the culture seriously.
