Ausmus, Upton hit the video room
- Updated: June 1, 2016
DETROIT — For the most part, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus has let his hitting coaches handle Justin Upton’s slow start to the season, sticking with their expertise. On Tuesday, much like he has done with other players, Ausmus took a hands-on role.
Ausmus and Upton got together and watched video from his various Major League stops, from his early years in Arizona to his brief stops in Atlanta and San Diego, trying to do pattern recognition from then to now. He didn’t get into what they saw, not that one would expect a major revelation to undo the past two months, but they at least furthered the discussion into the mystery of Upton’s 2016 season.
“We looked at video from Arizona, from Atlanta, from San Diego, and this year,” Ausmus said. “He and I actually had a good conversation. A lot of times, I let the hitting coaches deal with their area, but every once in a while, I get involved. So this is just one of those times. I felt like it was time for me to talk to Up.”
