"Kazuma Okamoto is selling out to hit fastballs, making him susceptible to the slow stuff. His whiff rate against sliders is up to 56.3%; against cutters, it's a ludicrous 69.2%."
"Since that fiery start, Okamoto is just six for his last 41, posting a scant .393 OPS in that time. He's been the victim of some bad luck (.214), but he's also got some clear things to work on."
Kazuma Okamoto has faced significant challenges since his strong start in the MLB, now struggling with a .585 OPS and a 70 wRC+. He has been particularly vulnerable to breaking balls and off-speed pitches, whiffing over 44% of the time. His recent performance includes just six hits in his last 41 at-bats, with a .393 OPS. The Blue Jays need him to regain his power to support the lineup as they deal with injuries to key players.
