ANAHEIM — A good baseball swing is a bit like a house. It isn’t much without a strong foundation, but a solid one might keep you comfortable for a long time....
“The way I’m going about my swing, I’m more grounded,” said Heim, who went 2 for 5 with a stolen base in the Rangers’ 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Friday.To briefly rewind:, as part of his offseason work this past winter, diagnosed what he does and doesn’t do well at the plate, reviewed how his swing plays in specific scenarios and left with the takeaway that he needed to use his lower body to his advantage. Power, in most cases, is generated from the ground up.
“If I’m not on my legs, then I’m doing something wrong. That’s the first thing I go to look at; if I come out of my legs too early, then I know what the issue is.” Heim’s continued development has helped give Texas an awfully lethal top six in the lineup when healthy: Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, Nathaniel Lowe, Adolis Garcia,
and Heim, in that order. And even with Seager out of the lineup since mid-April with a hamstring strain, the Rangers still rank second leaguewide in run differential and third in runs scored .There’s trust in the swing, too. The two might go hand-in-hand.Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that Garver — who was placed on the 10-day injured list on April 10 with a left knee sprain — took batting practice Friday and is trending toward a May 23 return date.
