It’s not bad luck. If the advanced stats say it’s luck, they’re lying. He struggles to elevate pitches down in the zone. He has to figure that out. When you already struggle with making contact on off-speed, if you put every ball down in the zone into the ground, you’re not going to hit for average. He used to do such a good job of taking those kinds of pitches and going oppo with a nice liner. Don’t see that anymore from him.
