B.J. Upton Hoping To Reverse Offensive Woes
Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2014 3:13 pm
B.J. Upton had a very disappointing first season with the Atlanta Braves, but he is hoping work with hitting coach Greg Walker will reverse his woes.
Upton finished the 2013 season with a .184 average, nine home runs and a .557 OPS.
Walker gained some encouragement after he traveled to Tampa earlier this week to watch Upton take some swings.
"The swings I saw work for me," Walker said. "It was a lot different than what we saw last year. It was a lot more simple, with a lot less moving parts."
