He's got everything going on right now.
When they pitch him in the zone, he hits it -- often for a HR.
When they pitch him out of the zone, he doesn't swing, and walks.
When he's on defense, he does a great job in the outfield.
When he's on the basepaths, he runs fast and even steals bases.
It also helps that opposing pitching is terrified of him now, hence the numerous walks.
Hard to believe this was the same guy who struck out every time against the Astros in the '17 World Series, and had a lot of trouble making contact in 2018, in what was considered a disappointing sophomore campaign.
Suddenly he's even making Yelich look human.
