I don't think he was on the juice. He was scouted. When you don't make contact, and don't take a ton of walks, and don't get many hits other than homers, unless your in a select few, your major league career is very brief.
Spot on. This is why hitters like Fields and Chris Young don't realize sustained success at the major league level. They are flawed from the start, and are unable to make adjustments. You can’t teach patience.
