Sluggers are never great unless they learn how to adjust
for pitching. You see this all the time in the pros as well. A new slugger busts on to the scene with incredible power and as soon as the pitchers figure out what he can't hit they pound him with it until he learns to adjust. If they don't learn to adjust, their careers are usually not very long. I think Shaver fits this bill to a T. Came in and was absolutely ripping the ball. Pitchers adjusted some last year and he was down a little. By now, there is probably enough film for opposing pitchers to know exactly what pitches and locations he struggles with and he will see a steady diet of those pitches until he shows he can consistently hit them.
