His speed is real, too, and his power is there. He even has flashed good plate discipline

He just struggles to make contact consistently. They did some work with his swing, but apparently he has either reverted or the changes have not had the desired effect.

It's funny... every critique and risk there was with Starling was present with Mike Trout as well (weak comp, hadn't played a ton of games, multi-sport guy).
So what happens if his bat never comes around but his fielding skill stays where it is or improves?
