Personally, I think it was just a plate approach issue. Jay's approach is not easy for a young hitter. You can get caught taking good pitches and swinging at bad ones, especially with high level pitching and pitch calling. Then, you get in your own head. I think you'll see alot of strides from Jones and Kling, especially, bc they have the tools.

Yeah, I think the slogan his 1st year was something like “it’s a ball or it’s a line drive.” And “ball” didn’t necessarily mean a “ball” ball, it was more “not a pitch I can drive.” His philosophy forces you to have to be comfortable hitting with 2 strikes. Obviously that’s tough on a lot of young power hitters.
And it may never be good for some guys. I think Jones will get better hitting with 2 strikes, but he’ll probably be allowed more freedom to just stand on top of the plate and
fastball hunt early, even if the pitch is on the outer 3rd. Jones is strong enough that if he lets the ball travel and barrels up outside fastballs, he can still drive them out of the stadium to center and right-center.
