New swing playing off for Drew Stubbs
Indians outfielder Drew Stubbs has been working since the offseason to eliminate the leg kick in his batting stance and the results finally appear to be coming through, MLB.com reports.
He entered Saturday against the Royals batting .353 (6 for 17) with a homer and two RBI in his last five games.
"I actually feel pretty good," Stubbs said. "I feel like I'm really settling into the direction I wanted to head and taking the right steps forward."
Manager Terry Francona added that he has liked what he's seeing from the 28-year-old.
"When he squares up balls, that's when he's got a chance to be really hot," Francona said. "We've all seen what he can do when he's on the bases. He can change the game. ... I think he's been very consistent [with his swing]. He's trying to just get himself in a position where he's ready to hit and I think he's done a good job of that."
