SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- At the end of last season, the D-backs wanted Brandon Drury to improve his agility and lateral movements during the offseason.
Through the first week of full-squad activities, it's clear Drury took those words to heart.
"Everybody is basically saying the same thing," D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said.
Drury, 24, spent all but a handful of days in the big leagues last season, after showing during Spring Training that his bat was ready to hit Major League pitching. However, finding a position for him in the field was a challenge, with second baseman Jean Segura collecting more than 200 hits and third baseman Jake Lamb having an All-Star-caliber first half.
