However, over a long season, it could just be a brief anomaly.

There was a period of time this year, where Harper was hitting the ball hard, but wasn't driving it into the seats. He's seemed to have made the proper adjustments and now that's no longer an issue however.

EDIT:

Figured I'd make an edit instead of a double post, granted it's Nightengale who isn't the most reliable, but he's reporting Ohtani might undergo TJ Surgery in 10 days.
