This seems like a great coach-player relationship:
“Last time I talked to him about something, we were talking about hitting the outside pitch and how . . . it should feel like you make contact and you’re still hitting it because you’re driving it now,” Davis said. “And it goes back to working through the ball. And he did a drill, and every day he comes in there, he does the same drill.
“He does the drill, he does the drill, he does the drill. And what he notices about the drill is, ‘I hit the ball the other way well, but I also pull the ball well.’ And to him, that clicked.”
Recently, Davis said, Bradley showed him video in which he felt he was swinging under the ball.
“I said, ‘Let’s do a drill to keep the barrel above the ball,” Davis said. “He did the drill, and he took it to a game that night, and I think he hit two triples and a double that night.”
Awesome. I kinda wonder what the drills were, but they seem to be working.
