New team, huge contract, wants to make an immediate impact. It easy to say that he is forcing it at the plate. Bautista is at least not swinging at bad pitches outside the strike zone. The problem with the off-speed stuff for Bautista (breaking balls especially) is pitchers are throwing them for strikes. He seems to be working behind in the count a lot.
