An Adjustment to Josh Bell’s Leg Kick is Leading to Big Results

Since earning his promotion to Triple-A at the beginning of the month, it has not taken Josh Bell long to develop into a strong hitter at the level.

After a slow start where he went 1-for-17 in his first four games, Bell hit his stride in the past 13 games at the level. In those contests, Bell has a hit in 11 games, with six multi-hit efforts. The power has also followed, as in the span, he has added five doubles, a triple, and a home run.

Bell credits the success to sticking to his approach in games and the hard work that he has put in with Indianapolis hitting coach Butch Wynegar.
