Salvador Perez moved to Miami in the off-season, which allowed him to workout with Kansas City Royals teammate Eric Hosmer. The results even shocked Perez, according to Jeffrey Flanagan’s recent report for Fox Sports:
“I lost a lot of weight,” Perez said. “Twenty-five pounds. It’s a lot. I never would have believed it.”
Now at 215 pounds down from his more typical 240, Perez also says he’s stronger in his upper body. The question is, what effect will less weight have on his play?
