How Has Curtis Granderson Improved His Season?

When Curtis Granderson got off to a slow start in April, Mets fans feared that they were going to see a repeat of the struggles with Jason Bay. In April, Granderson only hit .145 with 1 home run and 7 RBI'S. He had 4 doubles. He drew 13 walks. He had 26 walks in 83 at-bats. Fortunately in May, Granderson has turned his season around and has started to hit like Mets fans expected him to. He has hit .310 with 5 home runs and 14 RBI's. He has hit 3 doubles. He also had his first triple last night. He has drawn 6 walks and had 20 k's. I think Granderson's improvements can be attributed to him trying to revert back to his old hitting approach at Yankee Stadium. He has worked on pulling the ball instead of trying to hit to the opposite field. This has helped him get more extra base hits and use his speed to get doubles or triples. Hopefully Granderson can continue to hit with his improved approach. The Mets need him to keep on hitting to remain contenders this season.
