"In general, my approach has stayed the same," Cozart said Saturday. "I'm trying not to do too much. I'm going up there not trying to yank anything. I feel like I've been hitting the ball the other way a lot this year. I'm not trying to hit home runs or anything. Last night, the home run just came. I know if I stay to the middle of the field, a lot of good stuff can happen."
Cozart isn't missing pitches when he swings. Among hitters with at least 40 plate appearances, his 92.6 percent contact rate was tied for seventh best in the Majors, according to Fangraphs.
