Adolis Garcia Enters 2025 With New Swing
1 min agoAfter a disappointing 2024 campaign, Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia revamped his swing and is gunning for 50 home runs and 100 RBI in 2025. Even during a down year, Garcia had 25 home runs, 85 RBI and 11 stolen bases, but his .224 average and .684 OPS were career-lows. The 31-year-old has worked to remove an early loop at the top of his swing to give him a "quieter" swing, according to manager Bruce Bochy. "Not a lot of movement. Not a lot of length -- with his stride or with the swing itself." He's more focused now on making loud contact, as opposed to trying to lift the ball. A knee injury bothered Garcia throughout last season, which may have impacted his results at the plate. The good news is that Garcia appears to be healthy this spring and is moving around much better. Better health will go a long way for him in 2025, and Garcia's floor is pretty high after averaging 31 homers in his four full seasons in Texas.
