Can someone please explain to me why Augustine Ramirez constantly hits a weak ground balls to the left side of the infield. He no longer hits the ball in the air. Are they going to correct this?

Cutting down on the grounders will be important, but in his defense, weak contact isn't worrying me. His one from last night, for example, was 110 mph off the bat. He also has the hardest-hit ball of the entire Marlins season so far (113.5 mph, recorded on Saturday).

The power has been in him the whole time even when the results aren't there.
