Just have to be patient because big things are coming.
The fact that he's 20 and in the majors is indeed impressive. His performance so far however is definitely average.

He's gone a long time now without adjusting despite being thoroughly owned.

His bat needs to be elite, because he's a terrible fielder and baserunner.

It's early, but he needs to adjust soon.
