Albert Pujols will never again be the hitter he was in his prime, but a series of adjustments have allowed him to be a productive force for the Los Angeles Angels this season.

Pujols was hitting 177/.261/.355 in 69 plate appearances after an 0-for-4 performance on April 24, but in 210 plate appearances since he is hitting .301/.352/.622.

The 35-year-old "has dropped his hands and moved his left elbow closer to the pitcher with his bat much further from parallel than in previous years. He is also utilizing more of a leg kick than he did last year," writes Craig Edwards of FanGraphs.
