Angels’ Nolan Schanuel has improved his numbers with better bat speed

HOUSTON — Nolan Schanuel spent his winter trying to improve his bat speed, and so far it’s worked.
The Angels first baseman has increased his average bat speed from 65.2 mph to 68.2 mph, making him one of just three everyday players in the big leagues to have an increase of at least 3 mph.
Schanuel came into Sunday’s game hitting .283 with a .790 OPS. He hit his first homer of the season on Saturday. Last year Schanuel hit .250 with a .706 OPS. He hit 13 homers last season.
