Last week, position players. This week, pitchers.
Sonny Gray
Was the lead in a high school play
Fittingly, the play was High School Musical, with Gray playing the part of Troy Bolton (an athlete who decided to go out for the school play). Gray also acted in Grease and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. He and his wife still enjoy going to the theatre to this day.
Ranger Suarez
Brothers are Raymer and Rosmer, with sister Rangerlin
Payton Tolle
Eats 8 bananas before every start
To reduce cramping. “Monkeys never cramp,” he claims.
I think Payton would fit right in here as well
Jake Bennett
Is 6’6”
I have no idea if he played basketball in high school (but I would certainly hope so)
Brayan Bello
Weighed only 130 lbs when he signed at age 18
At 6 feet tall, his BMI was 17.6, which made him officially underweight
Still skinny, he is now in the overweight range
(probably due to muscle mass)
Patrick Sandoval
Meditates before his starts
He also likes to put a towel over his head. He uses the Calm app.
Garret Crochet
Idolized Big Papi growing up
In Mississippi! Crochet wore Ortiz’s #34 while playing at Tennessee. He wore Papi’s #45 while playing with the White Sox.
Tanner Houck
Wore a size 14 shoe when he was 14 years old
With wife Abby
Aroldis Chapman
Defected from Cuba
He did so in the Netherlands. He then established residency in Andorra. Coming from a third country allowed him to avoid the draft and declare free agency.
Garrett Whitlock
Knows American Sign Language
His mom is a professional ASL interpreter
Greg Weissert
Is part Italian, and played for Team Italy in the WBC
His paternal grandmother is from Calabria
Erik Miller
Weighs 270 lbs
On a 6’5” frame, that gives him a BMI of 32, which officially makes him obese
