year anomaly. Last year he had 100 RBI with under 900 productivity. This year he is likely to do that again.

All of this indicates he does approach at-bats differently. I want to know what his strikeout rate is with batters on and without batters on. He does strike out a lot either way, but he is known to go deep into at-bats looking for a pitch he likes. I wonder if he is overly patient looking for the home-run ball with bases empty, and more willing to hit for contact with runners on base.
