Wright has been locked in. During this weekend's games, he seemed to be recognizing pitches with uncanny accuracy for the beginning of March. He has had no trouble laying off low-and-away off speed stuff, and has been squaring up the pitches he gets to hit. Last season, Wright got off to a torrid start, so it will be interesting to see if this is an early indicator of another big April.Team USA will take on Puerto Rico on Tuesday night at Marlins Park in Miami. Game time is 8:00 pm.
