I'm mildly worried. Ever since the all-star break last season he's been routinely missing fastballs that he crushed prior to that.
He's obviously still a great hitter but his ability to turn any hittable pitch into extra bases has been missing for that last little while. I hope he finds that timing that's so imperative to his success soon.
