Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud told reporters Monday about some of the changes he made to his offensive approach this season after he hit a disappointing .202 following his promotion to the majors last season.
"I worked on just shortening my swing," he said, per the New York Post. "Last year, I feel like every pitch, I was thinking something about my swing compared to focusing on the ball and focusing on seeing the ball and hitting the ball. I just have to slow the game down, and toward the end I started feeling a little more comfortable and a lot of weight came off my shoulders."
