That’s a lot of strike outs. He’s not major league material.
Too bad. I really like the guy, and he was a great fan draw at the AA level last year with the Mets.
He will be 32 next week.
At that age, it’s hard to believe that he can ever improve enough to make it.
I really like the guy, and his work ethic and passion are downright amazing.
But it’s probably time to focus on sports announcing and commentary.
Batting avg. and strikeouts don’t tell the whole story. How many times did he get a walk? Hits + walks = times on base. How many RBIs and runs himself did he add to the score?
Many of the MLB great players have had high strikeout numbers for decades.
Sounds to me like he just needs a good batting coach to teach him to stop swinging for the fence. Singles and doubles will put him on base and drive in runs.
