Mather's Swing...

Hopefully, Mather just equals better Mather. I don’t have enough evidence that his “long swing” was the norm prior to injury, therefore I don’t know if it’s something he’s been doing his whole career. If so, the “short swing” might be short lived.

I was just about to make a fan post on this myself, Mather does look a lot better

But Mather was the man until he got hurt. He was hitting like a 3rd round pick should. Now he’s hitting like a 3rd round pick, maybe our scouting department is just really good in some weird way. I mean “oh, lets go get mather off waivers because we love him even though he hasn’t hit in 3 years” and now he’s raking.

is beginning to matter. With all the injuries, we needed someone to step up. I hope he continues to play well, at least until some of the others heal, or begin to hit.

Just from watching the two videos, its clear he’s changed his swing. The two big things I
 noticed were:

1. His hands are lower

2. He turned his slight leg kick into a more manageable toe-tap.

His look at the plate reminds me somewhat of Frenchy.

However, a taller, better form, and gives me more hope …version.

I’m rooting for him to be successful.
The more hits he gets, the more confidence he will gain and we could see him have a great year.
