During the 60-game 2020 campaign, over the winter, and again early in Spring Training, Washington Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez has been clear that the weight his center fielder, Victor Robles, put on last season, while all muscle, definitely affected the 23-year-old’s speed and agility.
“We talked to him about it,” Martinez told reporters in December, “... and like I said, it’s a lot about agility drills, getting his quickness back. Like I said, he’s a beast. He’s got such an unbelievable physique, but he cannot lose his quickness, his speed, because that’s who he is, that’s how he plays, so with that being said, we’ve got eyes on him.
