Hopefully he can make some adjustments, I'm sure he will...it's just a bit disappointing so far is all, especially when you combine it with the clear lack of proper conditioning that you expect a pro athlete to have.

Vladdy’s weight is the most disappointing thing about the start of this season to me - he looks like he spent the quarantine injecting brisket directly into his veins.
Being a big boy is one thing, but he looks like he’s carrying so much excess poundage that it’s difficult to swing the bat.
He also looks like he’s straightening up before he starts to swing. Doesn’t look fluid at all.
