How Michael Harris II's Batting Stance Changed the Trajectory of His Season

Related Topics: Willie Harris

Michael Harris II started off this season poorly, and that may be an understatement.

Just a month ago, there was some debate over whether the Atlanta Braves center fielder should be sent down to Triple-A until he got going again.

That all changed after the All-Star break. Harris made some significant adjustments to his swing, going from a starting stance that had his hands chest high and feet nearly parallel to a high-held, open-footed stance that, ideally, allows him to get his hands to the ball faster and generate more power.

And boy, have the changes worked.
