I would probably let him continue to hit in AAA for another month and see if his contact and avoid k improves somewhat. Track his K% by month at AAA under the "2024 batting splits" sub-tab of "Hitting Stats".
I wouldn't keep him down too much longer because it seems pretty obvious from his 2024 stats in AAA that he isn't being challenged all that much, but he could still improve his k-rate a little bit. When you do bring him up to MLB, you might platoon him for this season.
On the whole though, he's still only 22 so some growing pains as he continues to improve and adjust to the MLB level is pretty normal. His contact rating is also pretty low and is derived almost exclusively from his high power rating (his BABIP and avoid ks are both low), so if he isn't hitting HRs his stats are gonna look pretty bad since he will likely strike out close to 30% of the time in MLB even when he fully develops.
