The only pitch he can hit right now is a mistake out over the plate. The fastball in is eating him alive right now. The kid has been so talented growing up he just out talented the pitchers he was hitting against. Now he's facing pitchers that know how to pitch and exploit the holes in his swing and if he doesn't make adjustments he's screwed. At this point it's not a slump, it's adjust or die.
it looks like he's losing his barrel on inside heaters. and as a result his swing isn't smooth and he's swingin up at the ball. so even when he's on time he's missing the pitch. like he's trying to adjust mid swing with multiple parts to his swing.

of course the old tried and true method of slump busting has always been the go to....is there a golden corral somewhere around hoover?
