When he’s going good, Josh squats deep in the box before each pitch and use a lot of leg to add force to his swing. Right now he has a shallow crouch and his swing is a lot of arm, resulting in shallow line drives. Note his last HR was 13 games ago.

As long as he can run flat-out and relatively straight he’s 90%. But when he has to stop suddenly, or slide, it looks like he feels it.
