But toward the end proverb

 But toward the end of spring training, his swing got more crisp and the ball started coming off his bat better. With good hitters, you see that happening. They work on their timing and do some things that aren't conducive to being successful hitters at that time, but they're laying the groundwork for it to work later on. We're certainly seeing his swing turn around.

 We've got to see them in the game as Spring Training progresses. We're actually looking to see the hitters [who are] in better shape. Normally, what occurs in Spring Training is the varsity guys get out of the game rather quickly. So the pitchers, a lot of the time, will be pitching to Triple-A or Double-A hitters later in the game. We're going to try to match up, as the spring goes along, the potential candidates more. Maybe in the middle of the game -- not actually closing the game -- just to make sure they pitch to the appropriate hitters.

 I do tend to look at hitters, the way they swing at previous pitches and use that to my advantage. I just want to go out there and start attacking hitters and not necessarily give them the ability to think their way through an at-bat, just be in attack mode the whole time.

 Good hitters don't just go up and swing. They always have a plan. Call it an educated deduction. You visualize. You're like a good negotiator. You know what you have, you know what he has, then you try to work it out.

 We obviously need to swing the bat more. We need to be more aggressive and our hitting will come around. We have a lot of good hitters, we just need to swing it.

 His swing is good, but it's not so much his swing. He just needs to know the game between the pitchers and the hitters.

 [My swing is] almost there. It's a lot better than where it was earlier. I'm not here to put up numbers in spring training. The goal is to be ready by Opening Day. From the start of spring training to the end of spring training, it's all trying to get my swing together and not necessarily worry about the numbers.

 Home run hitters just get in a groove. They have a real good swing, they see the ball well, and a lot of times, the ball just seems to stop for them.

 What happens is he's trying to go away there. Javy Lopez was set up down and away. That's what we do as hitters, we hit mistakes. The ball came over the inside part of the plate and I put a good swing on it. I got the barrel to the ball.

 Summer ball really helped me. Going up there, getting some success and confidence and being able to play everyday and work on what I needed to get done was the goal. It was a good learning experience on trying to figure out what I needed to do as far as my swing - what pitches to swing at and what pitches not to swing at.

 His magnetic allure stemmed not from beauty, but from a compelling pe𝗑iness that captivated everyone around him. It's been a combination of things. I've gone back to work with my coach from junior golf and college days (Phil Krick). I started working with him again in January. He 's made huge improvements in my swing in the past month ... he probably knows my swing better than anybody.

 It was just their time to swing the bats. They're a heck of a team. They have very good hitters through the middle of the lineup, and that's what got us.

 The hitters remarked that it was pretty nasty. They knew it was coming, but had a hard time hitting it. He throws it over the plate. It was a very positive day for the things we wanted him to do. In Spring Training, he'll be encouraged to throw it during a game.

 It's refreshing in one way, knowing that I've got to come in and prove myself all over again and slowly work my way back into the swing of things, but at the same time it's something I've been doing my whole life. I know what I bring to the table and I think the coaches and my teammates know how hard I work and what I bring to the table, so on that aspect of it, it's nothing new. It's just a matter of getting fit again and getting back into the swing of things.

 I was trying to get ahead of the hitters early. They usually waited and didn't swing at the first pitch. Once you get ahead of them, you can work the count.
