Lamb bringing new mindset for 2016 season

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Fans will see a different looking Jake Lamb come Opening Day.

The D-backs' third baseman is sporting a new number having switched from 19 to 22 and a completely reworked batting stance that allows him to keep his bat in the hitting zone longer.

But the change that might have the most positive impact on him is one that can't be seen.

Lamb hit .263 in his first full season in the big leagues last year and while he knew there were some mechanical adjustments at the plate he needed to make there were also mental ones as well.
