Strikeouts

If there was one big negative in Javier Baez's season, it was the strikeouts. In 2018, it didn't matter a whole bunch that he had a career-high 167 strikeouts. If that number keeps climbing, it could be a problem. In 2018, when Baez made contact, he did a ton of damage. That number shows he made less contact than he ever has, which could be a problem when talking about sustained success.
