Understanding the new Hunter Dozier

I was the high guy on Hunter Dozier for a few years. I consistently ranked him in the top five in the organization early on, but then he struggled when he got to AA so I moved him down (a mistake I admitted to in my next list) but then back up to third. It’s no secret I like college hitters, and Stephen F. Austin grad Hunter Dozier consistently performed well in the minors both offensively and defensively. Then he finally reached AAA and was just okay, maybe less so when you compare his age to level.

He got the proverbial cup of coffee in 2016 where he was bad, and an extended look in 2018 where he was worse.
