PEORIA, Ariz. — Back before he put his Instagram on private mode — which is a wise thing do for any person, but particularly professional athletes — and before he deleted the post all together, Daniel Vogelbach posted a video to his account in late January.
In it, Vogelbach was being videoed on a random and beat up field somewhere near his south Florida home. Under some dim lights on jet black night and dripping with sweat from the obvious shirt-sticking humidity, Vogelbach pasted a few baseballs deep into the night.
