|---|---|---|---|
| Launch Angle Too Low0.80 | Groundball-heavy approach with the raw power to drive the ball — leaving fly-ball damage on the table | Elevate bat path to increase average launch angle toward 12-18° rangeGroundballs produce .228 wOBA; fly balls produce .462 — each 5° increase is substantial | MEDIUM |
| Chase Rate Problem0.31 | Expanding the zone too aggressively — generating weak contact and whiffs on pitcher's pitches | Pitch recognition training and two-strike approach adjustmentEach 3pp chase rate reduction projects to ~0.010 wOBA improvement | MEDIUM |
| Contact-Discipline Mismatch0.65 | Elite raw contact quality undermined by swing decisions — the bat is dangerous when it connects | Shorten swing against breaking balls while maintaining bat speed on fastballsMarginal discipline improvement with this power profile has huge upside | MEDIUM |
