The New York Yankees are working to improve their performance at small ball, with a round of batting practice held before the formal batting practice. The team, which led baseball in home runs last season, has been emphasizing the importance of small ball in their game. The Yankees' hitting coach, James Rowson, believes that bunting is underutilized in the game and should be used more. Despite recent losses, Rowson believes the team will be ready to score using smaller balls in order to win games.
