"I'm feeling great at the plate," Decker said. "Simply attempting to discover the barrell, doing whatever it takes not to do excessively and simply remain inside myself."
One thing that is profiting Decker is at long last getting an opportunity to play reliably. "That is my principle center, simply remaining on the field. A year ago was extreme just getting four at-bats thus far this year I had two or three waiting wounds in Spring Training and broadened," he said.
"So now just to be solid, ideally play ordinary, and simply get predictable at-bats, I'll have the option to work off every one and gain from every one and ideally keep on developing," Decker included.
