INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Bligh Madris is a new hitter.
This is apparent both from his big Spring Training, to just watching his swing.
Last season, Madris with crouched and had his hands lower. Despite a pretty successful 2021 campaign at Triple-A, Madris opted to re-work his approach this year. Now, he is upright, with his hands higher and loaded.
With the efforts to adjust, he noticed the dividends pay off quickly in the swing alterations. Madris hit .368 with three homers and two doubles in the spring. However, any large-scale changes come with challenges as well.
