Swing adjustment, healthy offseason put Orioles' Anthony Santander back in outfield mix

Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander has been here before, with a strong start last spring putting him in position to break camp with the major league team and deliver on some of the promise that led to the switch-hitting Venezuelan being a Rule 5 draft pick in 2017.

But with a three-hit day Sunday that included his first homer this spring and two doubles, Santander feels that a small swing adjustment from hitting coach Don Long and a healthy offseason have him in position to sustain it in 2019.

"We've been working on a couple things with my swing so far, and we've been working really hard in the last few games about it," Santander said, via interpreter Ramón Alarcón.
