Cubs' Jason Heyward: Off to slow spring start

Heyward is 0-for-13 with three strikeouts through five spring training games.

Analysis:

Heyward revamped his swing in the offseason, but so far it's not paying dividends. The 27-year-old had a down year in 2016, posting a career-low seven home runs and batting just .230, which was his worst mark since 2011. His talent makes him a buy-low candidate in 2017 drafts, but it would be comforting to see Heyward produce a bit in spring training to show that the new swing is working.
