Minimized leg kick paying off for Albies

MIAMI -- While establishing himself as one of the top overall prospects, Ozzie Albies was reluctant to make the mechanical adjustments coaches told him he'd eventually need to make. But since arriving at the Major League level, the Braves' second baseman has reaped the benefits of willingly making what he considers to be a minor change.

Though a third-inning single accounted for his only hit during Saturday night's 10-2 loss to the Marlins at Marlins Park, Albies certainly has reason to be encouraged by the results he has generated since he committed himself to remaining consistent with both his mechanics and approach.
