He's kind of of like shooting the borg with a phaser against some pitchers, they may drop the first few laser blasts, but they adjust.
At every level, he's consistently struggled for a bit, then settled into a 360 hitter with plus pop for a 2b and plus speed, and plus speed on the Angels means you're going to be running... And 360 is REALLY HIGH over time, even in the minors, he's not 360 a month or two, he starts consistently averaging that after he adjust.
I've seen enough to tell he doesn't get rattle, and even the games he doesn't look great in the box score, each at bat agains some pitchers, he looks better each suucessive at bat. That tells me he adjusts fast.
