FORT MYERS, Fla. -- After a forgettable 2015 season that saw him play in 19 games in the Majors after reaching the 20-homer plateau the year before as a 23-year-old, Oswaldo Arcia dedicated himself to getting in better shape over the offseason, and the results are showing this spring.
Arcia, a Venezuela native, spent all but three days of the offseason at the Twins' Spring Training complex, changing everything from his diet to his workout routine. He's in noticeably better shape, and it's been apparent both in the outfield and on the bases.
"I wanted to get stronger, do some agility work, get my diet right and eat better," Arcia said through translator Carlos Font.
