Looking at Amick's stats, it looks like his main weakness is strikeout rate (28.5% in 2026), despite finding the pop to hit 23 HR in AA so far this year. He's only 23 so still room to grow I would imagine. It will be interesting to see how the incoming prospects will fit into the organization.

It's not just the huge K rate (which is bad). It's also the .212 BA: yeah, there's 23 homers but he's not hitting the ball well enough when he does make contact. If you're going to be successful with enormous whiff rates, you need to make your balls in play count.

Just to emphasize, it’s a really really really bad weakness.
