He also has been getting hitting tips from Chipper. Chipper and hitting coach Greg Walker are breaking down BJ's swing, and have come up with tips to help BJ.

Seems to have helped a bit. Need more of a sample size to really know. I should clarify that I can only say that in the past few games, at the times I was able to watch, he got a few hits. Have not checks his Avg. since the glasses.
