Obviously he's a freaking good hitter for a shortstop but take a look:

http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=13516965 84 MPH offspeed pitch down and in that did not sink in Coors Field altitude. Thats why hitters hit better in Colorado, duh.
http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=13546075 89 MPH fastball belt high inside
http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=13689787 95 MPH fastball belt high down the middle
http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=13757815 90 MPH fastball belt high outside corner
http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=13774661 96 MPH fastball belt high inside
In conclusion, stupid pitchers are stupid. They don't seem to care about scouting reports or are gluttons for punishment. If you throw a pitch to Troy Tulowitzki belt high, he's going to go gangbusters on your ass.
