Atlanta Braves OF B.J. Upton worked with his father over the winter to simplify his footwork, and after a four-strikeout game May 17 in St. Louis, Upton approached hitting coach Greg Walker wanting to quiet his bat waggle. The results have been paying off. "He came in Monday and said 'I'm going to change my hand move,' and we felt like that was the last piece of the puzzle," Walker said. "Getting it less violent, get it over with earlier. His swing plan has changed because of it." Upton has seven hits in 28 at-bats (.250) with two doubles and a homer since the adjustment.
