Make sure you stuff the box for Ronald, Freddie, Ozzie.
After Heywood I worry about all our uber OF prospects. I would have bet everything on him. Kudos to those who said Freeman was the better hitter. I know there were a few.

I'm worried he may be too good, tbh
I'm worried now that Acuna leads the team in fWAR

It often can be a front side issue, with the shoulders leading the way and pulling the path more “east -west”. Often it’s a conscious fix, just focusing on staying through the ball and not over rotating. Lots of pullside ground balls is a red flag for directional issues.
Hitting is such a process of adjustment. Even Acuña at this early age knows the never ending battle to keep things tuned up and how that happens. You see it play out over and over with quality hitters.
1- hitter is in a groove and barreling everything. Pullside is rarely on the ground and oppo is rarely weak in the air.
2-hitters timing and direction get off line. Hitter finds fewer barrels, more swings and misses, fouls back, pullside grounders and oppo weak pop ups.
3- hitter makes conscious effort to see the ball deeper and use opposite field. Timing and direction return.
4- hitter gets in a good groove.
The great hitters are able to get back to “right” in a matter of days while most take weeks or even months to identify and correct.

With Acuna he has not sucked at any level ever. I will need to see a full season of him Melvining it up to lose faith in him.

Acuna is 21.5 years old.
Acuna is on pace for almost 5 WAR.
I’m not worried about Acuna.
Indeed. I meant projected, but I was trying to quickly post while my new porn was downloading.
