I noticed it, jj. But the unanswered question that bugs me is if he is sacrificing power to accomplish it. O’Neill’s slugging dropped from .500 his first year to .441 last year to .360 this. That is alarming to me. If he can’t hit for power, he isn’t going to start.
P.S. If you prefer ISO, it isn’t as bad. From .252 to .149 to .187.
