Angels’ Jo Adell believes putting pep in his step can result in pop in his bat

Jo Adell made some offseason tweaks to his setup and swing to quiet his lower half, flatten his bat path and optimize his lightning-quick hands, but what the Angels outfielder felt he needed most after his rocky rookie debut was an attitude adjustment.
