Well, this spring we’ve seen some changes to Albert Almora Jr.’s swing and batting stance, and it could potentially be a big boost internally for the Chicago Cubs offense in 2019.
Last week, The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma wrote about how Almora looks different at the plate this spring (Subscription required), discussing the power he was showing during batting practice.
Sign me up for this. I stated in my last piece about the Cubs potential leadoff candidates that Almora could be an option if he could add more power and patience offensively.
