After an improvement on his swing, Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington believes that Jo Adell will end the year on a high note.
One of these sparks is right fielder Jo Adell, who has shown drastic improvements in his swing in recent games. Throughout his Major League Baseball Career, Adell has utilized a leg kick in his swing. Before the Angels' game against the Colorado Rockies on July 30, the slugger swapped to a toe tap.
In his 39 plate appearances since the change, Adell has been hitting for .294 and improved his contact rate from 69.7 percent to 76.6 percent. The league average is 76.6 percent. His strikeout rate has also dropped from 29 percent to 21 percent. Selected 10th overall by the Angels in the 2017 MLB Draft, Adell made his MLB debut on August 4, 2020. Since then, he has bounced back and forth between the majors and the Angels' minor league affiliate the Salt Lake Bees.
