As AC has never been a hitting coach before, I can't see him making a lot of technical changes in the hitters' swings necessarily. But he has obviously had some input into their attitude & approach to hitting. That mixed in with more experience & getting stronger & the hitters are looking a lot better in general, several specifically. Some of those guys legs are definitely a lot bigger/stronger.

I wonder if the Weenie fans are going to give him a hard time Tuesday night.

What I pointed out isn't a huge change. Just keeps hands back a little longer. Helps adjust to different pitches. Not being a hitting coach before doesn't mean he doesn't know how to tweak minor parts of a swing. I do agree he's helping with their approach as well. No doubt about it. AC has been a great addition to this team with hitting and recruiting.

The book on his recruiting skills is still not written.

Javi did help us land some big names through the years. The players themselves mentioned it.

Hopefully, Cannizaro's recruiting will keep pace.
