Leaner Justin Wilson aims to add off-speed spice to arsenal

Lakeland, Fla. – You might notice a change in Justin Wilson this year. He looks different, for starters, leaner, more physically fit. And if his offseason preparations pay off, he will pitch differently, with a more complete arsenal.

“I took a little initiative and started eating healthy,” he said on Saturday after completing a morning workout. “Just mainly eating heathy to stay healthy. I ended up losing a little weight, but not a whole lot because I had a great workout routine.”

Wilson, a California native now living in Texas, spent his offseason essentially redefining himself at the elite training facilities at Texas Christian University.
