I think people are expecting baseball players to look like football players and I’m just going to tell you right now, that’s not going to happen. Pitchers need to have a little more weight, and they’re going to tell you that. If pitchers are skinny and ripped up, they’re going to have a lot of physical issues. I’ve always loved that one: ‘Oh, my God that pitcher looks out of shape,’ I’m like, ‘How are they out of shape?’ What they’re doing is they’re going down hill every time and to have more weight that’s going to give you more velocity a lot of times.
