Kevin Youkilis plans to revamp his batting stance for 2013.
Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long suggested the changes after working with Youkilis last week and watching some video of his hitting from 2008. Known for having one of the most unique batting stances in the game, "Youk" will still have his top hand off his bat as he gets ready to swing, but he plans to have his hands lower and his legs wider apart while being in more of a crouch. The 33-year-old batted .235/.336/.409 with 19 home runs and .745 OPS last season and will handle third base duties with the Bombers until Alex Rodriguez is ready to return from hip surgery.
