[Coach]

Didn't see this posted in the last 4 pages, so if Q, get bent.

I wanted to know how much to buy into Mike Moustakas's outstanding spring training. He is currently hitting .467/.561/.867 with four home runs. To see if he is doing anything is different, I looked at every one of his spring training at bats available on mlb.tv (not including last night) to see if I could find any changes. While there may be some small swing adjustments, his eye has improved immensely.

I went over each plate appearance and they are all listed out in detail at the end of the article. Here is the summary of what I saw.

Not one foul pop up to the third baseman. Bizarre.
He laid off some borderline pitches for called strikes. Also, he seemed to take a lot of first pitch strikes.He seems to be waiting for a good pitch to drive.
Some swing and miss on breaking and off speed stuff especially late in the count.
Still swings too much at pitches up in the zone.
Extra note: Moustakas came to bat after Perez most of the time. Perez is chasing pitches way out of the zone a ton.

Overall, he is not swinging as much at balls or borderline strikes. The increase plate discipline can be seen with his increase walk rate and lower strikeout rate.
