Joe Panik struggled in spring training, but as the calendar turns to June the San Francisco Giants second baseman has more than turned things around.

Panik is hitting .300/.373/.450 with four home runs, 11 doubles and nearly as nearly as many walks as strikeouts.

"He's become a much different hitter than last season, when he ranked in the first percentile in the majors in the number of fly balls he pulled," writes David Schoenfield. "Now he's in the 64th percentile, while also hitting more fly balls than a year ago."

Panik is pulling more balls with authority to right-center and right field and his walk rate has improved from 5.6 percent to 9.7 percent.
