His pitch mix and velocity are the same as his career norms. So whatever he's doing, the balls that used to be hit on the ground or were meek infield flies are now getting hit harder to the OF or over the wall. Since he doesn't throw hard or strike anyone out, he really needs to find what's wrong and adjust it soon. Despite being a soft tosser, he was effective, and now he's not.
I wonder if it could be related to the way baseball is changing in the stat cast era. Just as pitching is going more and more to velocity and K's, hitting is going to hard contact as the key, rather than trying to put balls in play. Maybe that is making it harder and harder for a soft-tosser to keep the soft contract rates up? Or maybe his location has just been off this year.
Hmmm…so the guy the Cubs signed to replace the guy who has hit a jillion HRs and is an All- Star is traded for a guy in Single-A who isn’t even a Braves top-ten prospect.
If I were hired as GM, even as a Brewers fan, I don’t think I could screw up this team worse.

I mean, I guess if you think of it as "is this prospect worth $8M?" it gets mildly better? Probably doesn't help that I have no idea who this 23 year old 1B prospect in Single A is, lol.
More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

And I missed that he was 23 in single-A. Wow. Just wow.
