Keston Hiura has not lived up to the expectations levied on him from his time as the Brewers’ top hitting prospect. Swing and miss issues have prevented him from becoming the balanced hitter that scouts hoped he could be.
At the surface level, Hiura appears to be bouncing back from the struggles he has encountered since his strong rookie season. After hitting his fourth home run of the season on Friday night, he is now slashing .250/.350/.481 for an excellent 135 wRC+.
However, there is plenty of reason to doubt that he has truly figured things out.
