the thing I do not get is that 2019 Robles looked good. Unbelievable defense, acceptable OBP, and some power.
First half 2019 Robles did. Second half, not really
But this happens all the time to young hitters. There's no book on them and they rake. Then opposing pitchers get scouting reports and the young hitter struggles.
Look at Pete Alonso. Dude mashed 53 homers his rookie year. Hasnt done nearly as well since. Gary Sanchez and Gleyber Torres also come to mind.
I think the biggest problem is some how he got it in his head he needed to hit for power and now his swing is all jacked up. He was never projected to be a slugger.
