Trevor Story should not be allowed to rejoin the Red Sox roster this week (and maybe ever)

In eight games with the WooSox, Story is batting .138 with a .305 OPS (yes, unlike a Trevor Story swing decision on a low and away slider, you read that correctly). And yet, as abysmal as that line looks, the components that make it up are somehow even worse. Story's already struck out ten times in 30 plate appearances (so a whopping third of the times), has just one walk, and is still looking for his first extra base hit post surgery. Those aren't concerning numbers, they're straight up alarming!

But it's the ten strikeouts I want to take a closer look at specifically, and that's what we're going to do today. So put on your hazmat suit. We're going in!

What makes this one so bad isn't just Story chasing a pitch high and out of the zone when it was ball four, but also that he was facing a guy who couldn't top 90 MPH. He failed to catch up twice. If you want to chalk this up to a guy early in a rehab assignment getting up to speed, that fine, but it's already a troubling sign.
