It bears mentioning that his ISO and BABIP are down, so perhaps it does mean there's been a little improvement. He IS making better contact with pitches in the zone this year. I expected to see more improvement in the strikeout rate, though.
But speaking of consistency, is there anyone more amazing than Albert Pujols? Extrapolating his stats by the end of this year, he will have achieved NINE straight years of 32+ HRs, 103+ RBIs, .314+ BA, 99+ R, and .955+ OPS, and some of those years came amidst a gimpy elbow. Absolutely remarkable. Even Mark McGwire had a full season where he hit only 22 home runs.
