Vance worked tirelessly in the offseason tweaking his swing....the Orioles are known for a lot of swing changing on their prospects and Vance bought in and it's showing. Small sample size, but 3-3 with 3 tanks is nice work.
Gunnar Henderson is a great example of a kid who came in with a "hitch" in his swing - and now look at him!

Really hoping he turns things around this year. Last year was a struggle and it was really hard on him. Glad to see he has put in the work to make some changes and hopefully it all comes together for him.

Vance's swing looks the best it ever has, kudos to him on sticking through the Orioles system and last year which I know was difficult for him. He told me at first pitch that his swing has never felt better and well, he wasn't wrong

it's spring training but he's still doing this against substantially better pitchers than he was facing last year in high-A. really really hope this is a sign of a real corner turned and that he can start moving up the ranks this MiLB season

That’s awesome! Love me some Vance! So what are his chances of make the show and being an every day starter?

He has a long way to go still - last season was a disaster.

But looking at the metrics, there are actually lots of reasons for optimism with his swing decisions and whatnot. And we know he has the tools - the speed, power, glove, etc. are all undeniable. It's also super encouraging that he worked to make significant changes to his swing/approach in the offseason and these are the early results....

It looks like Vance lined out to left yesterday so the hit streak is broken but the QAB streak goes on.
