After establishing himself as ‘Late Night LaMonte’ last season, Wade says he feels his swing is ‘a little tied up’ this year.
PHOENIX — There was a right-handed starter facing the Giants on Monday, but no LaMonte Wade Jr. in the lineup. Later on, in the sixth inning, manager Gabe Kapler had an opportunity to pull a bat off his bench and face a righty, but he went with a hobbled Mike Yastrzemski over Wade.
A day later, Wade shared some of what’s been troubling him this season and the fixes he is working on. On Monday, Wade got the ballpark early and took extra swings on the field. He’s spent even more time in the video room. Kapler has noticed a less aggressive approach at the plate, possibly a sign that his struggles have taken a toll on his confidence.
“That’s definitely been tough,” Wade said. “Trying to get in a rhythm, then you get out of it again when you get hurt and come back again and get hurt again. Really just trying to focus on staying healthy so I can get in that rhythm and finish strong.”
