WASHINGTON - Jackson Coutts said he hasn’t made a lot of changes at the plate.
But the results have certainly been much better for the first baseman/designated hitter from the University of Rhode Island.
In 65 at-bats over 19 games with Single-A Fredericksburg, the Maine high school hit product hit just .154 with a homer and eight RBIs.
In his first 65 at-bats in the Florida Complex League, over 18 games, the slugger batted .431 with a homer and 12 RBIs.
He was 3-for-4 on Thursday with a double against the Marlins.
“Trying to do too much is not a good recipe for success,” Coutts told Federal Baseball on Thursday about first pro stint after he signed as a non-drafted free agent with Washington in 2020.
