St. Louis Cardinals right fielder Stephen Piscotty saw quite a bit of success in his sophomore 2016 season. He batted .273/.343/.457 with 22 home runs and 85 RBI. However, much of that success came in the first half of the season hitting .295/.370/.493. Meanwhile in the second half, Piscotty only managed a slash-line .247/.310/.421.
Last season, Piscotty realized that his swings were inconsistent. His hands would roll over and his wrists were too stiff and too many hittable balls turned into weak infield grounders. Piscotty often found himself trying to catch up to pitches and that would lead to his hands rotating more than he wanted.
