Matt Sulentic- What's going on?

I know a lot of people here including John and myself love Sulentic. Yet, he's batting under 200 this year.

Obviously, I'm far from drawing conclusions, given the fact that he's right out of high school. What impressed me though is his k/bb rate, which is about at 1.

Though, I haven't seen him, and I know he's not striking out a lot, is he just hitting the ball right to people, or is there something else up.

I guess I'm just trying to rationalize his struggle.

Is he another...
Mitch Ein-something?

Remember the short guy the Astro's drafted a couple years ago who beasted it right after the draft and has been nowhere since?

einertson.
yeah, but nobody had ever really heard of einertson until he did that.  he wasn't a big-deal prospect coming out of the draft or anything.  and that breakout was really just a gaudy home run total; he was a three true outcomes type.  sulentic's supposed to be the opposite of that, an outstanding pure hitter.  it's very mysterious to me.

Hm...
His BABIP is just .195 so he is probably getting somewhat unlucky. But his line drive percentage is just 11.7, so it looks like he also isn't making a lot of good contact.
