Diamondbacks' Andrew Young flexing power stroke with four hits, all home runs

Andrew Young says there is no secret to hitting four home runs as his first four hits of this season. But he admits to practicing hitting home runs, whether it be off a tee or in batting practice.

"I think there's something to be said about practicing hitting home runs and hitting home runs," the Diamondbacks utility player said before Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins. "I'm not a believer in spraying the ball the other way. So I always try to kind of elevate the ball and it seems to have been working out so far."

Young, 27, came into just his second start of the season Thursday night 4-for-10 with four homers.
