I think we don't appreciate how long it takes to change the approaches of hitters who have been in a system, many of them, longer than this front office/development staff have been in the system.
There will be some who you can get to change, others who won't or don't have the talent to change. Add in they, hitters are probably anxious about making changes to what got them drafted, to AA, AAA or even MLB levels which makes it more difficult.
I think it is why the front office and coaching staff if you want to include them in this mix, are viewing this year as a year of evaluation. What players have bought in, but more so than buying in which is perhaps easy to say, but are then transferring the buying in to better performance at the plate.
It's not what any msg board wants to hear but in the middle of year 2 of Harris and this development group it takes time to change hitters and their ability to control the zone. TBH, I'm not sure how much you can change a hitters ability to control the strike zone/improve their eye so to speak. So, 2024 we see what we have in the hitters and possibly more importantly, or as important, what we have in pitching. Can we flip a couple of pitchers for a more improved bat plus a FA hitter to strengthen the offense.
