He also seemingly swings right through tons of meatballs right down the pipe.

Yeah. Imagine how good he could be if he never missed one of those.

He suffers from being physically gifted and somewhat dark both in mien and complexion.

Yeah, there's that too.

Yeah, there's that too.

but he (JUp) is a dreadful leftfielder and his speed doesn't translate to anything plus on the bases.

With the bat my impression is he's well below his overall production with guys on base (too lazy to look it up) which is a big negative if true.

Anything plus on the bases? Seriously? He is one of our best out there. Never makes a mistake on the bases and knows when to swipe and when to take the extra bag.

He is also the BEST starter on the team with runners in scoring position.
