But what makes Gallo special is his ability to transform the majority of his hits into home runs. He set an American League record of reaching the 100 home runs mark in the fewest games. The record later got broken by Gary Sanchez. However, life got tough for Gallo in the Bronx. His failures with the Yankees made him a punching bag for the angry fans who bashed him. 

But less than a month after joining the Dodgers, life has turned around for Gallo and moving in a better direction. According to a source, speaking on the Dodgers’ coaching staff, Gallo said, “I think it’s just the work that we’ve been doing with the hitting coaches. Since the first day I got here, they said it’s not about immediate results, just about the process and getting back to the player I know I can be. So it’s been great. It’s been relaxing. They’re really smart. I’m excited to keep working with them.”
