Texas Rangers hitting coach Anthony Iapoce recently joined 103.3 ESPN FM's "Dennis and Cowlishaw Show" to talk all things baseball. Here are some highlights:

Where has the power increase for Elvis Andrus come from?

Iapoce: I think it's always been in there. Some guys, it takes a little bit longer to understand certain things, power is usually that way. He's always had a pretty good swing from the time he was in the minor leagues.

He's able to hit line drives line to line, and I think it was the case at some point last year in the second half he got the confidence to use the pull side of the field a little bit more without having to feel like he has to cheat or get to anything.
