Scott Kingery Looking To Be More Aggressive
6 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies infielder Scott Kingery, who will compete for playing time at third base with Maikel Franco, is looking to be more aggressive early in the count in his second season in the majors. Kingery, who bulked up from 180 pounds last year to 193 pounds this spring, made changes to his swing in the offseason after swinging at 116 of 486 (23.9 percent) of first pitches in 2018. "My whole career I've been an aggressive hitter and kind of got away from it and let some pitches go by that I could hit," Kingery said. He turns 25 in April and could fare much better this year, but he won't be an option in mixed leagues unless he's starting regularly at third base for the Phillies.
