Joey Gallo got to spring training trying to lower the launch angle of his swing, straighten his posture in the box and hit more line drives. The 6-foot-5 Texas Rangers slugger isn’t worried about trying to hit home runs. That was his All-Star season, when Gallo hit .253 with 22 homers in 70 games, plus a home run on the first pitch in his only All-Star Game at-bat.
