Why on earth didn’t the Reds try to sign him when they had a chance? Grrrr!!!🤬

He's still a strikeout machine, though. When he gets bat on ball he can be devastating, but when he misses it's a real problem.

Yes, like with a lot of power hitters, he does strike out a lot. I had some time on my hands and checked his season stats so far, and he has 80 Ks in 241 at-bats so far, which is one strikeout for every three plate appearances.
