Lucas' updated K rate is getting close to 45%. I know the command has been shaky, I guess, but swing and miss stuff to this extent is just outrageous

His velocity though

They're going to hire a modern hitting coach several years too late exactly like they did with Katz.

The Sox are one of the best in the Majors at hitting the ball hard to center field and the opposite field. But they just don't pull the ball in the air enough. The problem with that approach this year is that barrels to CF are dying due to the weather and the ball. That's a huge reason why the Sox have such good expected stats but shit actual stats. Expected stats don't care which direction the ball is hit, but pulled barrels go for hits way more often than ones to CF. It'll get better when the weather warms up, but the Sox have bigger issues since they simply don't work counts or take pitches as a team.

There's that low baseball IQ we all miss!

He would have been out after a review anyway, but almost every player does this these days, especially on routine pop ups. They just keep going and if the ball somehow falls they would bee easy outs.
