ATLANTA -- Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson has been hitting the ball hard this season, but too often he hasn't had the results to match. With a simple change to his batting stance, he's starting to see more of the pop the team envisioned.
Over the past three weeks, Swanson has worked with hitting coach Kevin Seitzer to widen his stance to improve his swing path.
"I think what it's really done is it keeps me more still," Swanson said. "It helps you see the ball earlier and longer and just helps you make adjustments a little better.
