Tough break for Alvy, but it's fixable. Just sucks to have to take a step back after all the offseason work. I was really liking the new stance. Just exactly where I wanted to see him be.
He may need to rethink the violence in his swing now, though. Maybe watch some old Thurman Munson footage and mimic that approach and take the jerkiness out of it. It would be easier on the hands, and who knows, maybe he'd cut down on the chase rate and make more contact while he was at it.
This spring, he's been flailing a lot less, so maybe he's heading in that direction anyway.
Ugh

So frustrating all that promise seemingly wasted
