Diamondbacks pitcher David Hernandez has reported to camp in better shape, according to the azcentral.
Hernandez had a rough year in 2013. He posted a 4.48 ERA in 62 1/3 innings, and wasn't happy with his performance. "That was probably the worst season of my life," Hernandez said.
He explained that part of his struggles were due to being out of shape. "I just felt so slow and out of shape," he said. "I think that had something to do with it." Hernandez weighed 260 at his heaviest last year. He reported to camp weighing 238 pounds.
Kirk Gibson thinks Hernandez can get things together this time around. "You look at his body; he’s in better shape this year," Gibson said. "He’s a lot leaner. His mind is right. He’s just in a better spot mentally (and) physically."
