MESA, ARIZ. – Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman has noticed some misconceptions about his approach at the plate. Even last season, when he was averaging 4.27 pitches per plate appearance, his goal wasn’t to go in deep counts. When he felt best, he often was doing damage early in the count. But his commitment to his plan of attack meant he saw a lot of pitches.
Tauchman came into this spring with a different plan.
