Indians outfield prospect Bradley Zimmer has been tearing through Cactus League play this spring training, a positive sign after a stagnated 6-to-8 month stretch. The Indians and Zimmer hope this spring is a byproduct of his revamped swing and stance rounding into form, and not entirely a mirage of small sample sizes.
This spring, Zimmer is hitting .354 with three home runs, five doubles, 12 RBI and four stolen bases in 48 at-bats entering Wednesday’s game.
Last July, Zimmer worked with Tim Laker, now an assistant hitting coach with the Arizona Diamondbacks, at Double-A Akron to alter his swing and stance after a rough start to the 2016 season.
