I feel I need to begin this entry by highlighting Brett Cecil’s work ethic this offseason. His determination to come back to spring training camp a better version of himself in order to better prove himself to an often unreliable St. Louis Cardinals bullpen should be recognized and applauded.
I’m not sure what went into the decision to lose this drastic amount of weight this winter but it’s very evident he wanted to come to spring camp a more dynamic and athletic pitcher in order to improve his performance in this crucial year of his Cardinals tenure.
