Bregman did some things differently mechanically in recent years. He and the coaches who hit the video saw during the spring training and worked to return to the mechanics he had before his career. He said this has made the “safe” difference.
“We have studied a lot of different things, whether time, mechanics, configuration or load or the way to get into the hit position, what time it was in the hit position,” Bregman said.
He said that reviewing the oldest videos gave him a reference line for his mechanics when he was at his best.
“Put my head and I went into the cage, arrived with our coaches and achieved it,” he said. “I feel that there is still room to improve in many areas. I feel that some days is consistent, some days is not. But more than falling in love with the work process before the game and just passing and having fun -being in the field.”
Cora said that Bregman drives the ball and also hits it in the opposite field more than he usually does.
