Is that like a 10 year old dog being 90 in human years? Some adjustment for inflation is called for.

He has a highly repeatable swing and with these pitches having no movement, i can see him going nuts again. Hard to pick against Stanton or Batista though. But could only pick one.

The only other guy to repeat. Bautista, Stanton, and Frazier all have big swings and harder to stay in a groove between rounds.

Just a lucky guess, though.
