Joey Gallo got to spring training trying to lower the launch angle of his swing, straighten his posture in the box and hit more line drives. The 6-foot-5 Texas Rangers slugger isn't worried about trying to hit home runs.
The long balls have still come, with five homers in his first 14 at-bats.
"I'm really just trying to get back into where I was in 2019, just a relaxed feel at the plate and trusting my stuff," Gallo said.
That was his All-Star season, when Gallo hit .253 with 22 homers in 70 games, plus a home run on the first pitch in his only All-Star Game at-bat.
