Mauer went 1-for-1 with two walks in Wednesday's spring training win over Boston. He's hitting .286 (4-for-14) with three walks in seven games this spring.

EDGE Analysis

Mauer has experimented with using sun glasses after he experienced blurred vision at the plate at times last season. Mauer hasn't been the same hitter since suffering a concussion in 2013. Mauer was hitting .323 with an .873 OPS in his career before suffering a concussion in August 2013, and has hit just .270 with a .725 OPS since. Mauer's command of the strike zone has slipped the past two seasons as he was near career lows at drawing walks and near career highs in strikeouts and swinging at pitches out of the zone. Mauer drawing walks in spring training games could be a good sign as a result.
