Matt Shaw started his time back in Triple-A going 1-for-17 and looking at least as lost as he’d been in Chicago prior to being demoted. Even after making some adjustments to get back to his natural swing and timing, there were concerns about a lot of grounders and a lack of hard contact. But process is more important than results when it comes to sustainable success, and Shaw appears to be getting back to the right place mentally.
“When he came back, the confidence was down a little bit,” Iowa Cubs co-hitting coach Rick Strickland told Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register.
