Daily News | Inside the swing adjustment that accelerated Johan Rojas’ path to the majors with the Phillies
began to trim their roster. Ten players packed their bags and migrated to minor league camp on the quieter, less starry side of the Carpenter Complex.Now, Rojas was never going to be in the majors on opening day. Not this season, at least. Still, two weeks of spring training games seemed like an unusually short audition for the touted prospect, especially considering the Phillies at the time lacked a true center fielder to back up Brandon Marsh.
And while nobody knew it then, it turned Rojas into a key contributor for the Phillies down the stretch. It happened over a few meetings between Rojas, double-A hitting coach Tyler Henson, and director of hitting development Luke Murton, who joined the organization last December. In the coaches’ view, Rojas’ barrel lagged behind as his bat entered the hitting zone, which caused him to hit too many balls on the ground rather than on a line.
