Jaylon Thompson talks to Maikel Garcia about what he needs to do to improve.
Royals hitting coach Alec Zumwalt explained that Garcia has gotten stronger and added a toe-tap to better balance his swing mechanics.
“Maikel and I talked going into the offseason and we talked here in Arizona when he was doing his rehab,” Zumwalt said. “The biggest thing is we’ve just got to get back to what he did best as he was coming up. He brought the toe-tap back a little bit. I think (earlier in camp) was a really good example of the (flexibility) he has in his swing.
