TORONTO — Conversations with Victor Martinez and Hunter Mense have changed Cavan Biggio's thought process at the plate.Biggio got off to a slow start this season, with his batting average sinking as low as .111 on April 29. But he and fellow Toronto utility infielder Santiago Espinal started chatting with Martinez, a special assistant to the Blue Jays organization, at spring training about how they can improve offensively.
The main adjustment stemming from Biggio's work with Martinez and Mense has been altering the path of his bat through the strike zone. Throughout his career he's been a flyball hitter, but the new approach has him swing down more. "It's been able to help me cover the whole zone and that gives me a ton of confidence going up to the plate," said Biggio."I've seen some pitches and even give them two strikes.
"Since about mid-May I made a couple of adjustments," said Biggio, who was hitting .131 on May 16."I felt really confident with my swing and just being able to cover the zone. It's given me a lot of confidence from then on." "The playing time certainly does help but even with sporadic playing time, I still kept the confidence," said Biggio."I have been able to produce for this team and whenever you can help the team in any sort of way, with how good we are, how deep we are, it's huge."
