And I think it's just because you hear the conversations every day with him and other players and the hitting coaches.
So it's just a matter of doing it.
You know what I mean?
When you have the skills that he has, it really comes down to just the approach.
And it comes down to situational awareness, each at bat.
That's really what it comes down to.
So that takes time sometimes.
It's hard to throw a guy in the middle of the order.
And looking at guys that are similar to him, you can kind of say –
you know, Barger is kind of similar to him.
You could say that Kaz is a little bit similar to him.
I think probably a little bit more bat to ball tendency, you know what I mean?
But it's just kind of understanding what he's going to get staying convicted to an area and then just taking
his swing, using his skills that allow him to hit the ball really hard and really far.
So he's made a ton of progress since even spring training.
And he made a ton of progress throughout the year.
So I expect him to keep doing it.
And again, sometimes it takes time to really just trust that.
And baseball's hard.
And you face good pitching every day.
