Jon Gray Adds Weight As He Looks To Rebound
6 years agoColorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray packed on the pounds in the offseason and now weighs 235 pounds after weighing 209 pounds at one point last season. His Weight Watchers program included "eating anything and everything" and dedicating himself to lifting heavy. "I’m right where I need to be,” said Gray, the third overall pick of the 2013 draft. “I’ve been through it all. I’m ready to kick some (butt)." He went 12-9 with a rough 5.12 ERA and allowed 27 home runs. Pitching at hitter-friendly Coors Field is never easy, but the underlying numbers (4.08 FIP) show that Gray was pretty unlucky last year. If he can limit the home runs, he should be able to bounce back. He's a fine value pick in the late middle rounds.
