However, KJ has not been hitting the ball solidly at all recently. He rarely gets the barrel on the ball and it's not like he's getting unlucky by hitting line drives right at people. He's hitting slow dribbler/grounders or useless pop-ups. I think he is having some sort of mechanical issue right now. Good article and I agree with your BABIP arguements.

I have already made a couple of road trips to watch this team play at various towns in the league. This analysis is spot on I would also add: Freddie Freeman has an plus glove at first base Jason also has a plus arm and is a plus defender Cody is a physical speciman he is simply huge; his glove is well below avg. In June he has made some improvement on K/BB ratio but its a small sample size. Yes the rest of the lineup is just filler but from a win loss perspective keep in mind the big 3 are 19,19,20 which is really young for Class A Advanced. Furthermore all three of them have handled this league quite well given their overall youth. This Beach team is the best team to watch in the Carolina League from a pure prospect level.
