With the help of a key mechanical tweak, Lawrence Butler hit a three-run home run as the A’s began their latest three-game set against the Angels with a win
Oakland Athletics’ Lawrence Butler #4 is congratulated by catcher Shea Langeliers #23 after hitting a three-run home run off Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher José Soriano #59 in the fourth inning of their MLB game at the Coliseum in Oakland, Calif., on Tuesday, July 2, 2024. OAKLAND — As Lawrence Butler roamed around Oakland’s dugout fresh off hitting a three-run home run, he sought out bench coach and director of hitting Darren Bush.
The battle for Butler, though, is translating raw power into in-game power. This past Saturday, Bush and Butler made a subtle yet invaluable tweak to help the 23-year-old produce results: less head movement. “It gets me back to feeling like myself,” Butler said. “Getting me back to what I’ve always done, what I’m good at doing. That’s a little reassurance that hard work is going to pay off. Just keep doing your thing and it’s going to work out.”
The hope in Oakland, of course, is that Butler is consistently among those young guys who produce going forward. Butler has provided plenty of glimpses of his potential over the last two seasons. Time will tell whether Butler can produce sustained excellence — and dish out more hugs in the process.
