Mike Matheny Hopes Matt Adams Will Bunt For Hits

Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams, who batted .288 with 15 home runs in his first full season as a regular, faced a number of exaggerated defensive shifts last year and did poke the ball to left field with some regularity.

Unless MLB’s new commissioner Rob Manfred follows through on recent comments in the media that he’d be open to eliminating defensive shifts it doesn’t look like 1st baseman Matt Adams is going to have much of a choice.

The position players of the St. Louis Cardinals are grouped into six different workout groups for Spring Training. And all six of the groups rotate through each task which makes up their daily schedule–including bunting. But besides that exposure, Mike Matheny would like to see Matt Adams get some extra work in dropping down a bunt.
