Is this just a hot streak, or is this the second coming of Joey Bats? I can't find anything in his profile that suggests more than a .240/25 HR-pace ceiling, but his at-bats have sure looked good.

Honestly, you're guess is as good as mine. Bautista's spike was due to a change in approach, not sure we're seeing that here.

It's all about the landing (duh). I'd be more optimistic if the K-rate weren't so high, but .240/25 seems like a reasonable starting point.
