For me, it was getting a little bit back to more of a line-drive approach. That was the thing that I focused on the most, trying to barrel up as many balls as I could and hit balls hard, whether that was a line drive or in the air.”
The Brewers go into spring training without a specific beginning 3rd baseman.
Luis Urías and Orlando Arcia are each exercising at both shortstop and 3rd base this spring. Urías was at 3rd base for 30 of his 41 looks last season, while Arcia was nearly solely a shortstop.
