Many have given up on JBJ but what about Benny ?

i'm not worried about Benintendi making the adjustments to be a good player going forward. But his bat slowed down last year. It seemed like he was always fouling back the first pitch and in more 0-2 holes than anyone; he got a lot of called strikes just off the outside corner, no matter who the ump was... it made me wonder if he bitched too loudly at some blue and all the umps were backing up their bro. When he first came up he had a quicker pull swing but pitchers have adjusted by throwing more crap away and maybe he was looking oppo too much. More Ks and less BBs mean it's time to change back. The easiest way to snap a slump used to be to just try to hit it back up the middle, but Benny got burned a lot by shifts doing that, so it was a very frustrating year.
