Because some changes were needed, he worked with Atlanta hitting coordinator Chris Antarixa and special assistant Greg Walker. They helped Shewmake fix his timing mechanism and perform a technical swing Adjustments.
Results can come so quickly. A week after making these adjustments at home plate, Shoemaker hits for the first time in his life — — It was also the first at-bat for Triple-A Gwinnett. The 25-year-old had five hits in Wednesday’s 12-9 loss to St. Paul, including one after being hit by a ball .
“Honestly, this doesn’t feel real. It’s kind of crazy,” Shoemaker said. “Being able to hit two on the fastball, one on the changeup and hit the curveball from lefties is definitely a plus. It was really cool to be able to cover our base at that time. Obviously there are still some things that need to be cleaned up, and some things that need to be improved, but everything feels good today. “
Shewmake was just . He went 0-for-4 in his brief MLB debut on May 5-6. The 2019 first-round pick (No. 21) wanted to cool off, feel more comfortable in the paint and let his ability Handling things.
Shewmake often talks to the Braves hitting coordinators and watches videos with them after games, but Working in person has unlocked something new. The 25-year-old says it’s the best he’s felt inside the box in quite some time.
“We saw some video of Joey Votto and the way he loads and the connection between his hands and feet,” Shoemaker said. “It’s not like what he does That drastic, but it’s a modified version of what he did. That’s the direction we’re trying to go. It feels really comfortable and it’s something I’ve been able to repeat today and for the past few days. We’re still working out some kinks, but I think we’re in a good place right now. “
The results were evident on the field. It wasn’t just because he was hitting the ball in the loop — or since the mechanical change he was Slashed .473/.586/.850 in seven games — he made tough contact every Wednesday at bat.
His first-inning double hit 100.4 mph on a halftime warning run. The third-inning homer — his eighth of the year — hit 98.4 mph Flyed 349 feet to left field. Then he hit a single from left at 98.3 mph, nobody had a chance to do that.
At this point, teammate Eli White pointed out that he was three base short of the bike race. Sure enough, on the last at-bat of the ninth inning, Shoemaker hit 101.0 mph Speed shattered the day’s hardest-hitting pitch off the right center wall and went all out to secure the Braves’ first loop for a minor leaguer since Tony Tarasco in 1993.
“He looked at me and said, ‘Hey man, I need you to hit the ball in the gap and keep running. ’” Shoemaker said. “I hit that ball, I never thought I’d say that, but luckily the wind blew hard enough. On any other day, it might have been a home run. But I know, when I hit the ball into the vent … I saw the ball go off the wall and I was like, ‘Okay, here it is. you have to go. Then I ran to third base, and when I saw the third baseman [Jose Miranda] go a little bit up the line, I knew it was going to work out. I’m very excited, super excited. The dugouts get crazy, so that’s a lot of fun. “
