A few weeks ago, as Moustakas was slumping, he began seeking some answers from hitting coach Dale Sveum. They both agreed to go back to Moustakas' basics -- using less of his body during the swing and more of his hands.
"I've always been a handsy hitter," Moustakas said. "It's what I feel comfortable with."
Moustakas also had to make an adjustment with his stance, as standing more tall and less squatty in the batter's box leaves him feeling like he can fire at the ball more quickly.
