I want to hit homers and doubles and all those things, but sometimes it’s better for me if I walk, and I want to do that more this year. The main thing is to make sure I stay within myself and stay in my zone. “ Really good read from @JimSalisbury215 on Bryce Harper being more disciplined this year nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelph…
