He still chases a lot and whiffs a lot, so the approach still needs work and may fall apart once his BABIP normalizes. Right now he is obviously on one of those runs where he is hitting a high amount of line-drives and they are seemingly all falling for hits, but there is regression to be expected here (his wOBA is nearly a hundred points higher than his xwOBA).
His defense is also a bit shaky still too.
