Because he takes walks. The only guys with more walks than him last year were Judge, Soto, Ohtani and Schwarber.
He's still doing that here, but he's not hitting yet. If he was hitting at his usual .250 rate he'd probably have an OBP over .400, but even now his OBP is around league average because he takes walks. Same thing with the Canha move, they've clearly tried to move toward being an offense that takes pitches and shows more patience.
