Reply to "Wade Boggs Would Not Get Recruited Today"

Keaton Hiura is another even more recent one.  Ran something like a 7.3 60 at a Perfect Game showcase, threw maybe low 80’s across the infield.  Everyone knew he could hit.  Played D1.  Drafted in Round 1.  Has already played parts of 3 MLB Seasons with the Brewers.

What happened with his hit tool though? His reports always were good hitter with some pop and in the low minors he had decent K rates in the high teens with a few Homers and then one year his power spiked but he also started striking out a ton.

I wonder if he started swinging for the fences too much or if it is just the higher level of pitching.
