Tigers outfielder J.D. Martinez completely overhauled his swing during the offseason, according to FoxSports.com.
Martinez watched video of both Miguel Cabrera and Ryan Braun, and attempted to take things from their swings. He worked with a personal hitting coach for three weeks, and then tested his new approach in Venezuela. "If you watch video of me in the past, it’s the complete opposite — it’s that extreme," Martinez said. "It’s kind of like I reinvented myself."
Martinez is hitting .300/.333/.570 over 100 at-bats.
