Ben Zobrist explains his transformation from slap hitter to home run hitter.
“I knew something had to change,” Zobrist said. “Jaime approached me at showtime with some video of good big league hitters and compared it with swings he had of mine, showed me the difference, gave me his philosophy of how I needed to change my swing.” At first, Zobrist’s admits that he was uncertain of Cevallo’s technique. However after hearing a familar voice echo the same advice he bought into the system a bit more. “Jaime’s techniques made sense but I wasn’t too sure about making complete changes based on a guy that I didn’t know too well, but when I heard Dan, who I knew well basically telling me very similar things in a different way, I knew I had to go with it,” says Zobrist.
