Why isn't he duplicating it? Swing changes? Bad luck?
He's hitting MORE grounders and less flyballs. He's striking out more. He is just lost up there. Put it on a tee and he can't hit it. If you compare '25 and '26, this is the difference:
This is a bad take because many pitchers have improved in this system. We don't know what Harrison would look like after an offseason and ST here. Not many orgs have developed young pitchers like Early and Tolle. To say pitchers can't get better here is silly.
I'm not giving Story a cookie for playing through an injury when he was one of the worst hitters in baseball and his defense was pretty bad (don't care what the metrics said).
They take direction from Breslow. If Breslow said "teach them how to go oppo" that's what they'd start teaching. It's (a) too many cooks in the kitchen and (b) player regression.
I don't see how the Sox could have signed Schwarber. They already had 4 OFers, 1 DH AND a Trevor Story that now needs to be moved out of the IF. If you sign Schwarber, that's possibly 3 roster moves they have to make to fit Schwarber onto the team.
I don't know how often they adjust it either? I know they talk about the grades midseason. A lot of scouting reports haven't been updated yet this year either. Wish they were all updated annually.
