“He’s expanding the zone,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “He’s trying to cover everything high, low, in and out. We’re encouraging him to shrink up the zone and have a better feel for having an opposite-field approach to stay on the baseball so you don’t pull off of it.”
“The last conversation I had with him was cut the plate in half,” Lovullo said.
