Phillies' Cesar Hernandez: Working on mental part of his game

Hernandez is working with Mickey Morandini, the Phillies' baserunning coach, on addressing some of the mental errors that plagued him on the bases last season, Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

The Phillies and Hernandez believe he can swipe 30 bags this season, but he'll need to improve on his success rate. He was caught stealing 13 times last season despite having excellent speed. Manager Pete Mackanin said Hernandez needs to work on his jumps, learn how to read slide steps and observe pitchers. Exceeding 30 stolen bases should be possible if Hernandez improves his approach on the bases and can keep getting on base at a high clip like he did in the second half of last season.
