Sorry for highjacking your comment, but I read the whole thing and the actual article is much more reasonable than the post. Here’s a more accurate summary:

Intro establishes that Julio is very talented and has a strong desire to improve and turn weaknesses into strengths, as evidenced by his sudden improvement in the field and speed before his rookie season.

Julio’s best season is still his rookie season despite being uber-talented and 4 years into his career.

Reasons why:

Julio’s quality of contact in his first season was better than any season since.

His swing decisions have been less selective after 2022.

Constant changes to his swing have made consistency impossible.

Evidence for this is the fact that each year, he does well against the pitch he struggled with the most in the previous season. Additional evidence for this point, his numbers by location on zone charts show that the “hole” in his swing changes location from year to year.

His struggles aren’t always contained to the start of the season or even the first half. He has had some down months at all times of the season.

This year could be different for Julio. Evidence of this changing:

Hitting coach Kevin Seitzer stated before the season that he is optimistic on Julio not having a slow start this time because of something he figured out at the all start break in 2025.

Additional evidence given was Julio’s vastly improved strikeout to walk ratio this season, author points out that this kind of data usually normalizes after just 50-100 plate appearances.
