So why is there a coaching staff if they can’t elevate and improve the skills of set player, that being said Robert is a hitter not a walker but laying off certain pitches can definitely be taught. Also, in his past two seasons his strikeouts were significantly lower so I’m assuming we will see those go down next season with the power remaining in tact.
