Arizona Diamondbacks' Eduardo Escobar feeling energized after dropping weight in offseason

When he first changed his diet during the offseason, Diamondbacks infielder Eduardo Escobar said he did not sleep well. He also might have been a bit cranky.

“I was mad at my wife,” Escobar said.

But with every passing week, Escobar felt better and better. In his first media session of spring training, Escobar said on Wednesday he has never felt better. He says he has more energy and feels stronger.

“I think it’s the first time in my career I feel really, really good,” he said.

Escobar said he has dropped as much as 20 pounds.
