For one year he was selective and waited for a pitch to drive. So he could elevate it even without massive changes to his swing.
Every year before and since he's just been way too aggressive up there. Maybe if he had some real thunder behind him in the lineup pitchers would come at him again but with Bichette doing dick and the rest of the lineup atrophying around him, there's just no reason to throw him a strike.
It ain't like he's gonna hurt you on the bases.

He was pretty patient coming up as a minor leaguer but he's now become a hacker with no idea what he's doing at the plate. Occasionally will hit a ball 115 MPH on a line but most of them are grounders.
Good at HR derbies though
