TAMPA -- If Yankees infielder Tyler Wade rakes at the plate this spring and makes the Opening Day roster, Los Angeles Angels superstar Albert Pujols probably will get some of the credit.
They hit together this winter and when Wade asked for a hitting tip, the future Hall of Famer offered tips that not only are being used, but they have the second-year player believing he'll be a better hitter in 2018.
"That's like me hitting with a bunch of my friends and then Derek Jeter comes in and says I should try something," Wade told NJ Advance Media after Tuesday's spring training practice.
