  • Heyward's swing '90 percent' rebuilt: Braves OF Jason Heyward, who readily admits he altered his swing in an attempt to play through a shoulder injury last year, has been working all offseason to rebuild it, beginning two weeks after the 2011 season ended by reuniting with personal hitting coach C.J. Stewart. “I was working on my stance, working on my load,” Heyward told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Basically all the things I need to have as far as a foundation to allow my swing to work.” Since then, Heyward has spent time hitting in the batting cages with Chipper Jones, who likes what he's seen. “He’s 90 percent back,” said Jones. “When he got to spring training in 2010 and on into the season when the ball jumped off his bat, it was a sound and a sight unlike you had ever heard before or seen." And now? "The ball is jumping off the bat now close to what it was in spring training 2010," Jones said.

    Fantasy Analysis
    Heyward has also taken steps to improve his physique this offseason, working out five days a week and eliminating junk foods to bring his weight down from 256 last spring to 235 now. Clearly, Heyward is leaving no stone unturned in his efforts to bounce back from a miserable sophomore season in which he hit .227 with a .708 OPS, and so far, so good. “Everybody that’s seen Jason swing the bat so far is excited about where he is,” new hitting coach Greg Walker said. Heyward was the top prospect in baseball entering 2010 and was vote into the All-Star game that year, so if he can get back on the proper trajectory, he has a good chance to take a big step forward this year. He comes with some risk, of course, but he's a potential steal outside the top 30 outfielders on Draft Day.
