It's too early to tell anything this early in a baseball season. Last year at this point in the season, the Braves were 8-4 and we know how that turned out.
The thing that anyone will tell you about Heyward is he's streaky but his defense is good enough to carry him when he's not hitting well, and he walks enough that he generally gets on base at a decent rate. His WAR last year was 5.2 which is All-Star level. For whatever reason there are lots of Braves fans hate Heyward, but he's an exciting player who is still really young.

Because they loved him a lot, and he was hyped by their media as a 30+ HR hitting machine...and then their manager hit him leadoff and royally fricked him up.
He made significant changes to his stance and hands this offseason since he isn't hitting leadoff in STL ever, so 11 games is nowhere near enough time to really tell anything. All we know at this point is that he's likely going to win another gold glove, swipe around 20 bases, and is a perfect fit in the clubhouse. Everything else is way too damn early.
