Yeah he looks absolutely lost at the plate a lot of the time. Has absolutely no confidence. Sometimes its surprising how badly he swings and misses.

He did very well in Spring Training though. He hit .276 and had a .317 OBP. I get it that it wasn't all major league pitching, but still. Damn.

I mean, you know it's there for Olt. It's just like one of those mental blocks he has to break through. Are his HR's lucky? I don't think so. But what he needs to do is work counts and realize where his hittable pitches are. That's easy for a guy on the internet to say, but when you hit rock bottom you have to start there, with the fundamentals, and work your way up. At least that's how I see it.

This is really just me writing a love letter to Mike Olt because I really do think he can be a good MLB hitter.
