His bat speed hasn't changed, which doesn't necessarily tell us anything. It's worth noting that he has a .151 BABIP since the break, so like, that probably won't keep happening

but he's alos not hitting the ball hard, and not walking

I will mention my experience with the ABS system last Friday at Worcester. There were 4 challenges. 3 by hitters, 1 overturned, and 1 by a pitcher which was overturned. It was quick and efficient and while I want all pitches called by ABS it was a positive experience.

Is there something specific that is causing most of the O's top rookies to struggle so badly in their initial exposure to the bigs, or just general proof that baseball is hard? I know we're talking SSS, but watching Cowser, Holliday, and now Mayo all look helpless for their first few weeks has been frustrating.

I think just baseball is hard
