Great comparison. He also struck out 35 percent of the time.
Matias needs to work on his K rates, but there’s plenty to be excited about, and the raw power is undeniably a weapon.

Seems like a lot better numbers than the .213 Matias is hitting. It's not just the strikeout numbers, he simply doesn't put the ball in play or get on base nearly enough. I believe he was hitting in the .230-.240 range around a month ago. He's sitting at around .115 for his last 10 games and probably pretty similar for the past month.
I'm also not that excited about someone with raw power and not much else. IMO that has little value in Kauffman stadium where a player has to be able to get on base consistently.
