Cardinals | Bryan Anderson excelling

St. Louis Cardinals C Bryan Anderson made some mechanical adjustments to his swing by shortening his hack in order to get a more direct path to the ball this spring. He also focused on keeping his head still, and the results are showing; he's hitting .462 after two more hits Tuesday, March 20. "He walked in and it took about five days before I had almost every coach that's interested in the offensive side come up and say, 'Hey, he's made some adjustments,'" manager Mike Matheny said earlier this month. "He's stronger. The ball is jumping off his bat. It just sounds different. I think it's reassuring that he's done the right work over the winter."
