Michael Lorenzen is a bit of a freak. Besides the fact that he’s lovingly called “Mikey Biceps” because he’s a physical specimen, the guy is just an incredible athlete. In college he was a center fielder who did some pitching out of the bullpen. He was very good at both. The Reds liked his skillset enough as a pitcher that they not only drafted him to play on the mound, but to develop as a starting pitcher. He reached the Major Leagues rather quickly, and spent his first season in the Major Leagues starting, but did find his way to the bullpen after that.
