What is wrong with Gorman, is it coaching , is it

[Kentucky kid]

his skills, is his vision not good.His potential is off the chart but his performance has not been there..Does going to a new team and playing his true position at third solve it..I think when your employer tells him , he will be playing everyday and he don't, that will tick anybody off..You be our third baseman arenado will be traded, you will be our second baseman , you will be our DH.Frustration is behind Gormans issues he's still young.He will get used to being lied to, it's life.

In my opinion he was rushed and didn't develop the plate discipline. That is his main problem. Not the K's themselves but swinging at pitches out of the strike zone. He needs to watch Schwarber. He's K's yes but when on he has great plate discipline.

He's still young, has such easy power and can play anywhere on the IF but SS. Just let him play and when he gets hot don't instantly assume he's the 3 or 4 hitter. To me he's a 6 or 7 that is very dangerous until he proves he's more.

What is it? Baseball is hard that’s what it is

[Hofikebrucee]

It might just be this simple… he is simply not as good as people in this forum projected. It could be that his first year when he did rake was due to pitchers’ needing to adjust to him. They made adjustments and he simply had not or worse, cannot.

The numbers do not lie. He’s had a good number of AB’s now. It’s looking like this is who he is. The unicorn is merely a JAG.

You say his potential is off the charts. What makes you say that? Probably because organization says that. Their rate of determining “potential” has not been great.

He's 24 and has 61 HR in 1102 ABs.
The power potential is undeniable.
But...he has to hit better than .200. Period.

It's not Gorman. It's the willfully delusional and their expectations. You know, the kind that believe he's reminiscent of Eddie Matthews because he he hit a double. They need attention and sheer idiocy is a reliable way to get it.

Like the poster who repeatedly called him a "Unicorn".

[ramfandan]

In answering OP question, it sure isn’t coaching issue as Brant Brown has received numerous praise

Aside from high fastball , I’ve noticed on 3-2 counts if pitchers throw middle of plate but lower than strikezone
He will swing nearly every time.

He can judge horizontal left to right if plate but vertical up and down over the middle he seems to struggle bjg time

The good news is Gorman’s shown improvement in his discipline this season. His 27.5% out of the zone swing% is 6th lowest on the team and better than league average.

Ok improvement. That’s what the reset looks for.

[swatski]

I know exactly what is wrong with Gorman, Major League pitching. Like every young power hitter he has holes in his swing and they can hit those spots a lot more consistently than pitchers in the minors.

Hugely negative consistent. With current coaching should see some improvement. Understanding the strike zone, oppositions approach to him, etc etc should be showing improved performance. He is as close to an automatic out as there is. Maybe its time for him to start wearing women's underwear approach.
