ST. PETERSBURG -- Corey Dickerson showed up at Spring Training 25 pounds lighter. Though it's early in the season, the Rays outfielder/DH looks like a different player on the basepaths and when playing the field.
Dickerson, who weighed 224 pounds after three trips to the disabled list while playing for the Rockies in 2015, remembered seeing a video of himself rounding the bases after hitting a home run last season. What he saw wasn't pleasing.
"I waddled," Dickerson said. "I didn't even know I waddled."
The cumulative effect of moving slower took a mental toll, too.
