Way to early to make that distinction.
He has a tremendous tool set (bat speed, barrel control, hand-eye).
A few hundred ABs when he had been rushed to the major leagues too soon is not close to enough to make a call about.
George Brett had a sub-.600 OPS at a similar stage in his development. Thank the gods they didn't give up on him then.
