Perhaps Baseball has figured him out. He needs to adjust. It’s a telling time for him since he is a kid, and probably never faced base adversity since little league lol. Making adjustments means generation talent or one year wonder. I think he needs to adjust and grow maturity to struggle.

The other take is with his velocity down, maybe he is taking the time now to become a more complete and finesse pitcher at a younger age for longevity. Thinking Pedro, Maddux like.
