Welcome to Kyle Schwarber's comeback season
MESA, Ariz. -- It was an unusual sight, particularly for a million-dollar athlete. Kyle Schwarber came walking through the Chicago Cubs' spring clubhouse one morning with Tupperware in his hand.
Since when do major league baseball players bring their leftovers to work? The answer: since said player is trying to maintain a strict diet.
What started as an offseason lifestyle change for Schwarber has continued throughout spring training. Call it Phase II of The Comeback. First came losing 20 pounds and improving his athleticism. The next step, playing out this spring, is about taking all those hours at the gym during the winter months and putting the results to work in Cactus League games.
