I absolutely hate the way the guys hits. He doesn't swing the bat he casts the bat at the ball with little power. Hits a lot weak line drives and pops to RF. And it isn't as much about pitch location as it is about his basic approach. Fortunately for the Sox he is a good enough athlete that he can drop some hits in but he shows no power. Then very once in awhile he'll turn on 1 just to prove critics wrong. He is frustrating to watch.
He needs to approach at bats with the thought of driving the ball and lose this bat flick strategy.
