The ‘ground up overhaul,’ as described by the Dodgers’ hitting coaches, has the outfielder trying to write a new chapter in his career
GLENDALE, Ariz. — If the mechanic says your car needs an overhaul, you probably need an overhaul.
“It felt like an overhaul for me. So maybe we have different definitions,” Dodgers hitting coach Robert Van Scoyoc said. “But from my perspective, it’s been an overhaul.” “Just kind of went back and saw when he performed in the big leagues what he was doing,” the hitting coach said. “When he was really solid, that was seven, eight years ago so we didn’t really use that as much of a model as we normally would. So we kind of just hopped in the cage, made observations and went from there. So it was a little different from other guys.”“We worked on his lower half, his legs, how he uses his back side, hand position, bat path, sequencing – all of it,” Van Scoyoc said.
“If you play for 15 years, you’re going to see over time some different setups, some different stances,” Heyward said.
