Snake Bytes 9/2: Take to the sea!

(The Athletic) The ‘monumental’ swing change that propelled Diamondbacks prospect Jake McCarthy to the majors

He was left out of Arizona’s 60-player pool when Major League Baseball decided to soldier on in the midst of the pandemic, but the 24-year-old emerged from his own personal quarantine a changed player. Over the course of last summer, he embarked upon a self-directed mission to overhaul his swing in the search for more power. That fall, he reported to instructional league with all-new mechanics and a charge in his bat.

And... that’s pretty much all the news for the Diamondbacks.
