TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Derek Jeter says too much is being made about the change of his front-foot stride.
The Yankees captain no longer is striding with his left foot. He made a smaller adjustment late last season, shortening his stride after a session with hitting coach Kevin Long.
Jeter says “I’m not changing a swing. My swing is exactly the same. I’m shortening down the stride. It’s really not as drastic as people are making it out to be. I’m not putting my hands in a different position. I’m not doing a different path.”
