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.

He’s still young.  And I suspect like a lot of MLB hitters, pitchers with Spider Grip happened to his hit tool.  And relative to this thread topic, Hiura is an immense success:  how many players with supposedly “inferior” measureables that the OP postulates wouldn’t get recruited by a D3 would be thrilled with MLB Service time?
