Five seasons into the minor leagues as a .237 career hitter, Regis Jesuit product Max George knew he needed a different competitive edge to move up.
So George connected with his high school coach, former Rockies player and manager Walt Weiss, to help accelerate his career. George, an infielder, hit .209 with 14 home runs for Class-A Advanced Lancaster in 2018.
“I was drafted in 2014, so I think it’s time for me to get going a little bit,” George said. “I need to develop a consistent swing path through the zone for a long time, so I worked with Walt on how to keep that more consistent throughout the season.
