Fangraphs has his barrel rate at 11.9%, launch angle at 12.8 and fly ball at 45.2%.
He still hits too many ground balls, but what's sinking his performance is his dismal 4.8% line drive rate that will eventually normalize.
He's only 21 and had a wRC+ of 116 in a meh rookie year. Nobody with any smarts in the industry is writing him off.
