I also think he has problems hitting the ball the other way with authority left handed even when he is patient.

There's multiple folds there to figuring out what's going on and fortunately it's not stuff that can't be fixed some (stop trying to make contact on any pitch in the strike zone outside 2 strike counts and sit on your pull zone left handed, and in 2 strike counts try to figure out how to flair balls instead of making medium contact in the air) but even if he fixes it he's still going to be very flawed left handed.

Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

Just FWIW ---- Race to ROY
In major categories Soto vs Acuna--
Soto 92 GP, 323 ABs, 93 hits, 20 Dbls, 1 Trip, 16 HR, 63/79 BB/K, 2 SB/2 CS, .303 Avg, .417 OBP, .520 Slg, .937 OPS
Acuna 85 GP, 331 ABs, 98 hits, 22 Dbls, 1 Trip, 23 HR, 30/92 BB/K, 11 SB/4 CS .291 Avg, .361 OBP, .577 Slg, .938 OPS
How are the individual cats valued by voters? Major difference in BB/K, OBP, HR, and SB?CS.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Acuna was doing all this damage with a couple high OBP guy hitting in front of him.
Ronald has 25 home runs and 13 stolen bases with 20 games left.
Considering he was called up late and missed a month due to injury, I'd say I was closer to being correct than Enscheff was. Haha.
But.
A bet is a bet. And he is simply not going to have the SB numbers.
So I will honor my word.
It has been real, Chop Country. Take care of Ronald for me. He's a star.
After today here is how the Soto/Acuna OPS race is shaking out:
Acuna: .948
Soto: .922
Who would have thought that Acuna would not only have caught Soto at this point, but passed him by 26 points. Dude is having the most insane streak of rookie hitting I've ever seen.
