Between Russell, Bryant and Baez (all of whom I consider 2nd yr players, with Baez missing significant time), it seems as though the latter two have made significant strides, yet Russell appears to be lost at times. At other times, he’ll work a 12 pitch walk after starting in a 0-2 count.

I know he is 2 years younger than those guys, but as a 2nd year player, you want to see progress and I can’t see it, but I REALLY hope it’s there.
