Excellent stuff as always here, Harry. I'm not surprised about the K-rate increasing. I figured him for a good 150 to 175 strikeouts in the big leagues based on how much he struck out in Japan. I am surprised at the decreased BB-rate. The scary part is that an increase in walks almost always means an increase in strikeouts, but he's decreased his walks and increased his strikeouts.

That leads into what else you showed about his out of zone swings.

Not a good trend at all. I'm looking forward to Part 2.
