Can Aaron Judge reduce his strikeouts while maintaining his production?

Aaron Judge is a great hitter. He also strikes out a lot. Even if he keeps striking out as much as he does, he's more than likely to keep performing like a shoo-in All-Star for the foreseeable future. If he could manage to lower his strikeout rate into the mid-20s, however, there might be even more in store for him. This is, of course, as greedy as wishful thinking gets

Some notable examples of high-strikeout sluggers cutting down on their whiffs and upping production have emerged in the past season. Foremost among them are George Springer and new Yankees teammate Giancarlo Stanton.
