      The fact that he is Mexican fits in perfectly in Miami. Even though it's small we do have a Mexican community that can make him feel comfortable. And that makes you work harder if you're comfortable when you're not playing.

      My guess is it’s a mix of being in and out of line up and being asked to play different roles that are unfamiliar. His best games are when he plays Jimmy role. He is also a rookie and they never play these many games per year so that likely has an impact
