SF Giants' Landen Roupp is gearing up for his third Major League season, aiming to maintain his spot in the rotation. Despite a secure position, Roupp remains focused and determined, treating every day as a competition. His live bullpen session on Saturday showcased his improved cutter, a pitch he emphasized with a new grip. Roupp's preparation for increased innings is evident in his offseason training, aiming for strength and endurance. Meanwhile, Patrick Bailey, a two-time Gold Glove Award winner, is making subtle adjustments to his right-handed batting stance, aiming to improve his numbers as a right-handed hitter. Bailey's decision to continue switch-hitting despite better numbers as a left-handed hitter adds an intriguing dynamic to the team's strategy. These strategic moves and individual efforts highlight the Giants' commitment to improvement and adaptability, leaving fans eager to see how these changes will impact the team's performance this season.
