I think it's at least partly selling out for the flyballs. His BABIP is something like 100 points lower than Konerko, who's 2nd in the league in HR.
Basically, Bautista isn't one of those guys who focuses on driving the ball and just letting it happen the way a Pujols might.
He's goin' for the fences, and getting the HR in respectable numbers, but still only hitting about .260.
