Royals Rumblings - News for October 20, 2020
Alec Lewis writes about the progress prospect Nick Pratto made this year.
Stepping into the box, Pratto started to trust his mechanics. He no longer labored over his leg position or elbow drop or hand pressure. To focus on matching angles from an approach standpoint, he had to have the mechanics already tuned up.
“One of my little things is, when you’re in the batter’s box, if you can’t feel the sunshine or feel the breeze or hear the fountains (at Kauffman Stadium), you’ve got way too much going on in your mind,” Zumwalt said. “Having clear thoughts and keeping focused is so important. That’s where Nick got to, and he deserves all the credit in the world.”
