Over the last year, there has been a lot of publicity about the swing mechanics coach Zobrist hired over the winter, by the name of Jaime Cevallos I think. The guy had studied batting mechanics of many hitters and developed a special bat to help improve others’ mechanics. Does anyone have any insight on much of this actually helped Zobrist or was this just some marketing bs?

Back in April, the guys over at DRaysBay “broke the code” with respect to Zobrist’s breakout year. Apparently, the Mkanix bat (or however it’s spelled) did play a role:
Thanks for the article. Very helpful for my keeper decisions.
I was interested in eligibility after reading this, and I see that 2B and RF are virtually assured for all leagues next year, but SS will be hit or miss depending on settings: 13G/6GS/62Innings
Such a bummer for me, I was hoping to avoid having to draft a SS.
