White Sox like the direction Matt Davidson is headed

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Hitting coach Todd Steverson has worked closely with Matt Davidson for more than two years in an attempt to refine his approach at the plate.

They’ve dissected where the White Sox minor-leaguer needs to be, tried to identify problems and searched for solutions.

Finally, something has clicked for Davidson, who was acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks for Addison Reed in December 2013. He made several adjustments early in the offseason and spent all but three days hitting. Steverson immediately noticed a difference when Davidson -- who’s hitting .452/.469/.871 with four home runs and seven RBIs in 31 at-bats this spring -- attended a hitter’s mini-camp here in January.
