It's interesting that Morel has started hitting the hell out of the ball while his K/BB numbers have gone the other way again. For most of the year, his plate discipline numbers were great for a guy with such a free swinger reputation, but he just wasn't hitting. Now it's essentially the opposite.

 

That's not necessarily a problem, a lot of guys swing freely when they're feeling good and grind ABs a lot more when they're not hitting. If with a little more age and experience he can smooth things out a bit that'll work, though probably will lend itself to him being a streaky hitter.
