Tell me how his approach has changed. I don't see any

I see people mostly criticizing his first-pitch approach, which is no different than it has been his whole career. It is an aggressive hitting philosophy that is as old as baseball, that being the first pitch is often the best pitch you see from many pitchers so jump on it if it looks good.

Approach hasn't changed. Earlier in the season he looked like he expanded the zone on first pitches now that he was "the guy" and in classic baseball terms was trying to do too much.

He seems to have gotten more selective recently and the results are starting to show.
