Entering his second season with the Washington Nationals, Kevin Long hopes to have even more of an influence on some of the team’s hitters. The hitting coach appears to have highlighted certain hitters who he feels he can help ahead of Spring Training in a few months.
Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post reported that Long expects to visit Michael Taylor, Howie Kendrick, and Spencer Kieboom, among others this offseason. There are certain areas of their game he’ll be hoping that they can improve upon moving forward.
You may remember that Long made an effort to work with outfielder Andrew Stevenson this time last year.
