"Ballesteros has been such a preternaturally gifted hitter from such a young age that I wonder how many times he's had to work through significant adjustments to find success at the plate."
Moises Ballesteros is facing challenges in his second season, hitting .150 with a 36.4% strikeout rate. He is encountering more breaking balls and high fastballs than last year.
