After a much-maligned 2016 season and obsessively discussed offseason swing changes, Jason Heyward entered the day 0-15 on the spring.
Not that an 0-15 stretch couldn’t happen at any time to any player, and not that results in Spring Training tell us much of anything useful, but it would still be nice to see Heyward maybe get a little extra boost of confidence from having a torrid spring. That doesn’t look to be happening, even as there have legitimately been times when the swing looks improved and solid contact has resulted.

I’ll take it. So will Heyward.
