What if Francisco Lindor could only hit grounders?

Francisco Lindor is pretty good at baseball. He fields with the best of them, runs like a deer, and also hits the ball like some sort of All-Star. Good enough to hit in the three-hole for a World Series team at any rate. As he grows he might gain more power, and he’s elevated his line-drive rate from his rookie year. If that continues, he’ll be more than just great. But what if, in some bizarre gypsy curse got laid on him and suddenly, Lindor could only hit ground balls? I’m imagining a sort of "Thinner" situation, where a fly ball of his knocks the nachos out of an old woman’s hand and she mutters "grounder…", in case you need an image.
