Last night in Carolina I was talking with a Mudcats fan that I met down here. We began talking about Didi Gregorius and we both expressed how we thought he was underrated. One of the things that I brought up though was how after watching him in Dayton, that I wished he would keep his weight back more when he swings. That far too often he seems to just try and slap at the ball. As a guy with plus speed, I get that approach, but I think Gregorius has some power in his bat if he can do that more often. Of course he made me look like a genius in his next at bat as he smacked a HR on the first pitch he saw. So today I began looking at some videos I took yesterday and noticed the different swings/approaches that he was using in the videos. Below I have put the two side by side with a few notes on the differences that stood out.
