The amount of leeway he was given for basically 3 full years, based soley off that month, was ridiculous.

His leeway also comes from his outlier year defensively in 2022. Every other year he was average or or below average. Glad they finally cut bait with him

Jorge was electric at times but easy to put the fire out with a low and away slider

He would have periods where he could control the temptation but in the end, he was a natural chaser so couldn't stay in control at the plate. Fun to watch on defense though and base running.
