Colt Emerson’s Hitting Evolution
Seattle Mariners prospect Colt Emerson, after two successful minor-league seasons, sought to enhance his power by adding a leg kick to his batting stance. However, he found that an overly pronounced kick disrupted his timing against advanced pitching.

Emerson emphasizes the importance of being on time for pitches and has successfully adjusted his approach to consistently hit with power.
