Mitch Marner Takes Batting Practice with the Toronto Blue Jays
Currently second in the AL East behind only the New York Yankees, the Toronto Blue Jays brought in a new hitting consultant to give their offense a little more pop. Maple Leafs F Mitch Marner showed up to the Jays' practice this morning to show them how it's done and offer some pointers. Hopefully nothing related to the postseason, though. Marner even took the time and pulled Blue Jays RF George Springer for some one-on-one practice. After all, the devil is in the details.
Pretty decent form from Marner here, but not quite major league 'pop.' His small frame would make the strike box pretty tight though, so I could see Marner fitting into a Jose Altuve role, but he would have to bulk up a little more and learn how to cheat first.
