Winn needs to be sent down to figure things out. You can't have an automatic out in the lineup no matter how well you play defense. He really has no clue.
I share the frustration, but that isn't happening. He is going to have to figure it out at the big league level. And he will be better for it.
How long do you keep sending him out there to fail? He's young and needs to regain his confidence, but it's no going to happen facing major league pitching and striking out 50% of the time. He's badly overmatched in every AB.

Winn's hips are way out of whack.
And his head is not staying on the ball.
Do you teach english literature part time at a community college?

Per Bernie:
The swing-miss problem is undoubtedly tied to Winn’s change in launch angle in a quest for more home-run power. Last season his launch angle was 13 degrees; this year it’s 25 degrees. That’s within the so-called sweet spot range, but it isn’t working — at least not yet.— Last year, Winn was annoyingly effective at going the other way for hits. He had 46 opposite-field hits in 135 at-bats (.341). In the first four games of 2025, he’(poop) only one ball to the opposite field. His opposite-field rate has dropped from 28% to 14%.

Unfortunately his team is down 100-0 ... or is it 1-0 ... I can't remember.

Seriously? That's what this is? Another idiot young hitter tried to change his launch angle to get more power and has completely destroyed what was working for him?
