I'm assuming having enough lipids allows elasticity to apply while maintaining the mass on your body/arms as your body swings to hit the object or throw. There is a way to maintain both weight, elasticity, and uh balance/ clumsyness. Hard to balance, even with expects.
Being fat doesn't make anyone better at anything! And these stories aren't proven just hear say...

It still cracks me up that CC got skinny AFTER he retired. I love that freaking dude, he's a national treasure.
I'm happy for CC's health post baseball. But man, beer gut CC was a PROBLEM! 😂
Its a thing with some nfl linemen to lose the weight after playing days. I heard a former panthers linemen lost all the weight and ran a marathon
he was skinny for a short time late in his career, and it was probably his worst season, I knew that weight distribution thing was real because of it. glad he's healthier in retirement, though.
Mass=Gas in the words of CC. He said he wasn’t getting the velo when he was in his best shape.

In short:
If you're heavy, you hit the ball harder, which is kinda the most important thing with baseball these days.
If you're heavy, you suffer fewer arm injuries because you pitch with your mass, not your arm.
As pointed out in some other comments, some of these numbers are misleading because they look at weight rather than the way the weight is carried. Jumbo Diaz and Aaron Judge should not fall into the same category.
However, a decent amount of the stars listed aren't particularly fat.
He ignores fat vs muscle, doesn't factor for height at all, and even misrepresented weights on his hitter lists. For example he has Miggy at 267 which was his 2023 weight when his 2013 Topps Card lists him at 240. He also had trout listed at the same weight for every season on there. And counted Ohtani as overweight
@@thomascevallos5042he literally said Miggy weighed 240 in 2013 11:15
@@ayarzeev8237 in the top OPS+ seasons earlier in the video, he lists 267 next to his 2013 OPS falsely increasing the correlation between weight and performance
@@thomascevallos5042 I see the point you are referencing now. That may have been a typo on the slide given what he said later in the video.

Oh my gosh if i could play that game rn
To be fair, most of the “overweight” players are not actually overweight, they just are big guys with lots of muscle mass, look at Kris Bryant or Bryce Harper who were listed as “overweight” its pretty clear theyre not actually overweight, just shredded and 6’3-6’5
Exactly, if these guys were 5-9 or 5-8 they would be way overweight but these guys are very tall
Yeah, I saw Aaron Judge on that list and was like???
The thing is the standard that determines overweight are outdated to be fair, and don’t take into account muscle.
Basically weight is weight. Your body is not designed to deal with it whether its all muscle or all fat. Muscle being denser and the actions you take to gain it tend to be healthier then just being a blob but your still going to run into problems from the added wear and tear.
This was David Ortiz. On TV he looked fat, but to see him in person, he was just a massive human being altogether.
Pablo avoiding that tag while doing the splits is a thing of beauty. That statue belongs in the Big man Hof.
Kung Fu Panda dodge
there’s zero way mike trout and kris bryant were overweight in the 2014-2016 season
Tall and muscular counts as overweight I guess 😭😭😭
Yeah, the biggest reason baseball players are heavier than ever is because they are more muscular than ever.
People don’t realize that weight training was not a widespread practice in MLB circles until the 1990s, and that practice is not going away any time soon.
@@MisterVicky9 They're using BMI so anyone who's built is gonna count as overweight...I hope to god that paper he's mentioning doesnt also use BMI as its criteria for overweight
Well if it's based on the BMI, which is a very flawed metric, then it would make sense they would be "overweight"
im 6'4 / 215 and I'm technically overweight

I've never thought about the existence of an underground cheesesteak eating contest, but now that I know it is out there, there's nothing I want to be a part of more.
This is just evidence of how bad BMI is as a metric. Because while there are exceptions of "overweight" players that play well despite not having an athletic body type, a big reason for why so many of the best players are getting heavier is because it is more common for them to build much more muscle. And guys like Mookie Betts and Jose Altuve aren't lighter because they're more fit, they're just limited by height.
Realisticly if the average height of Americans was 6-3 none of these guys would be overweight
My BMI is perfect but I'm skinny fat 🤷
It’s only for normal people
@@kingyellowman5762skinny fat? Gtfo here
The big problem with BMI is that the number itself is meaningless without context, and because of its nature, the context that's provided is super generalized. The "healthy" BMI range is based upon the "average" person, but the nature of humans is that we aren't average, we all have unique quirks that require much more relative metrics. Someone that has a larger overall build might not actually be healthy by getting their weight into the healthy range. On the flip side someone that has a low percentage fat composition can be considered obese if they build enough bulk, but the nature of getting to that level of fitness means having to be the most healthy you can be. So at the end of the day the only thing that BMI alone is good for is comparing your weight to people of a similar height. It takes other metrics to understand whether a person's weight is a problem or not (or in this case to compare whether baseball players are better because they're fatter or have just bulked up more)

Best quote ever
@@willnyc377they probably did, but honestly that exact statement could be made in an admirable, positive way depending on intention, tone and context. It’s not inherently insulting and could believably be affectionate…but considering it was 2000 I’m gonna assume it wasn’t. Fuckin brutal though.
As a fat guy, who was a fat kid, i can confirm that just by the eye test youre always going to get picked first to play baseball and football. Youre either getting picked to be an offensive lineman or tap into home run potential and get thrown out in right field or 1st base. I drove football coaches nuts because i didn't love or enjoy it like i did baseball. Imagine Pablo Sandoval as a 2nd basemen. That was me lol. Theres obviously a breaking point to where it'll effect you. But if youre s natural athlete, a realistic chubby body really is the peak for baseball. I'd argue baseball is the most body image friendly, realistic body image sport out there
I was the fat kid but was able to get pretty fit in high school to play baseball 1B because I loved it so much and used Kobe mentality as a model to approach the game. Although I lost weight I still had a big body mass, but because I stayed active I was quick and knowledgeable at base stealing, and slides. My coach used to be impressed because during our sprints he would say "u got a set of wheels, kid".
There were players much bigger than me on the team but they were not as active and it showed because they didn't field or run as good.
I think there can be a method to finding a good balance of being husky but active to improve any baseball player. I think running is essential to a players regimen because of stamina and energy required to make great plays. But that's my 2 cents
Nah, fat is only good for hitting, not for fielding, even pitching can work since they don't have to move.
@@capybaraponque611 or base running, production wins gamss
@@capybaraponque611There’s probably a middle ground like most things. Sprinting around the bases is not the same as cross country. I was chubby and one of the hardest hitters on my team, also one of the fastest runners and was catcher, doing squats all day. Maybe the consequential legs of steel from squatting with the extra weight made me run faster…

What does it say about power lifting? Who cares. Big dudes bring power.
Bartolo Colon looked like a model in his rookie pic 🤣
Favorite player of all time.
and he's still a model today ;D big and sexy
'Big Sexy' is one of the best nicknames in MLB history
My friend’s aunt, who is a current anchor for a local station in Cleveland, got her first real job talking to the players because she knew Spanish. She said Bartolo was a riot even then and a huge flirt. Apparently Bartolo stopped chasing women and started chasing Taco Bell. What a legend. Haha
they don't call him 'big sexy' for nothin
Body weight and %body fat are two very different things. Nor does it take height into consideration
Dude legit called Mike Trout overweight. Wtf
BMI only takes height and weight into consideration. Height is definitely considered. Body fat is what's missing.
@@holstorrsceadus1990 BMI is body mass not body fat. in general if it fat or muscle you can still be over weight , look at body builders who are like 5 ft 9 and 250 lbs who are 5% body fat ... they still are considered over weight.
muscle is whats missing. most strong men are fat simply because restricintg your calories is stressful@@holstorrsceadus1990
He should look at BMI. But still, the physics make sense. In positions of leverage (ie hitting and pitching) extra weight / more mass helps generate power. In positions of running/speed/agility (eg fielding, running bases) it will work against you, slow you down.
Stopped watching baseball for years - but I gotta say that this channel has gotten me back to watching & keeping up with the games! Thank you for this dope content
I click and I watch to the end everytime.
I'm from England and have never watched a baseball game in my 29years , but I like the vids/storys
I also watch jomboys cricket videos, even though ive never watched a match haha. @dtha_truth6079
Same
This always made sense to me. Every time in Little League with a fat kid stepped up to the plate we always took five steps back
Also something to consider, a guy who is 6 foot 2, 210 pounds of pure muscle, chiseled like a sculpture, is considered overweight by bmi.
And at 6 foot 1, 220 pounds, considered obese.
Bro called Mike Trout "techically overweight" 😂
And judge, ohtani, freeman and more... really makes you think the whole thesis of the video is wrong...
They are technically overweight by bmi. BMI doesn’t account for muscle or where your weight comes from
@@fio6620 thats why scaled bmi's are dumb
@@Bigfluffinfluff I mean I agree, but my point still stands, and it’s 100% where some of these figures in the video are coming from
@@Bigfluffinfluffthey are one indication of problems with weight, however bmi alone is pointless, especially in athletes. In non athletes it can be one factor to pay attention.
I have never played baseball, but I was a fat kid and played cricket growing up. I was one of the fastest bowlers (cricket pitchers) in the school and was able to throw fast balls with a fraction the run up of my teammates.
While it doesn't account for the players who lost weight and then sucked, it should be noted that the disproportionately good stats from heavy players could be affected by the fact that fat players clearly had a shorter leash than thin players. Only the best got to the show and those that did had significantly more pressure to perform than the average player. There still may be a correlation but not as direct as it may seem.
Exactly. Survivor bias. People look at antique furniture or houses and they say “things were better made back then.” Wrong. They made plenty of things poorly or cheaply 100 years ago. And that stuff didn’t exist anymore. We see only the 100-year old products that happened to have been well made. People also take better care of the best made products.
The players that lost weight on team orders and started sucking probably lost muscle weight because losing the fat was too hard in such a short time. Everyone knows muscle is easier to lose than fat. That would easily explain their regressions.
@@jamesdrake142Same is true for music.
@@mat5473 Even if they didn't lose muscle, losing a lot of weight quickly is not healthy. Baseball's off-season is not very long. If I had a guy come in to spring training 30 pounds lighter than he was at the end of the year, I'd be worried. 10 pounds? Great but 30, that's asking for trouble. And of course as you said, there is likely to be muscle mass loss involved in that kind of weight loss too.
IT worked for John Kruk. He was a lifetime .300 hitter that, according to reports, would go inbetween innings and microwave hotdogs in the team microwave. He'd also order pizza and cheesesteaks and be surrounded with the wrappers.
John Kruk is not a good siiingerr
We mask his hideous voiiice with more voluumeee
Wehwehweh doodoo
In the words of John Daly: "You can't pull fat"
🎶 sixty niiiiiine when you eat a junk lunch
Lots of cocaine too
For the record, Ichiro would deliberately start the season about 20 lbs over his ideal weight because he'd lose it all, and then some, over the course of the season. He explained that it's the exact reason why his April and May numbers were the worst throughout the season.
My point is whether you're big or small, I believe productivity has more to do with a balance between consistency and adaptation. Bartolo remained consistent with his diet and was able to successfully adapt to the changes in his body while Pablo couldn't. It also takes a toll psychologically when you have to start being cautious of something you never had to think twice about before.
I one time was in alcohol rehab with a pro ball player and as a big baseball fan I would chat with him and he told that the Seattle mariners set his ass there because his bottle of liquor per day habit was keeping him fat, and that was the primary reason they wanted him to give it up
Aaron judge being 282 pounds shouldnt be overweight because hes 6"8
I’ve long wondered if slimming down was the worst thing that happened to Felix Hernandez in his career.
When King Felix arrived in the majors as a teen prodigy, he was noticeably thicker than pretty much every pitcher in his age bracket.
After fulfilling his potential and becoming one of the most dominant pitchers in the game, Felix started to slim down noticeably and almost immediately started losing velocity on his fastball. This also had the effect of turning the best changeup in the game into just another pitch. Felix also seemed to lose durability and endurance, rarely pitching more than 5 innings in a start after turning 30.
It's possible but it could easily be a chicken or the egg sort of situation did the weight loss cause his struggles or did his struggles cause his weight loss.
Then again, you could just be one of those situations You can find and basically every sport where a really great player has a really short prime
@karlwithak. you do realize that King Felix was 33 when he threw his last pitch, right? Also, players tend to put on weight as they age, not the other way around.
I watch a video based on Wade Boogs 73 beer flight. They did the math, and he have been super dead if it happened. But I admit it's a great baseball storytale. His BAC would be over 1%, which is more than double the lethal limit of 0.40%.
Andre the Giant put away 100 beers in a sitting. Wade Boggs did not.
Big Sexy getting offered 50 grand to cut weight, getting FATTER instead, and then winning a Cy Young, is one of the most hilarious developments in baseball. Going on to become EVEN FATTER and be the MLBs oldest to hit their first HR is the cherry on top.
Pablo Sandoval is a legend here in SF. Always brought the house down.

This is the funniest baseball video I've ever seen
My son is the chubbiest ( I wouldn't say hes "fat" but hes hefty) kid on his team but he's also the best pitcher and the best hitter. Funny enough he also plays ss if he's not pitching or playing 1st.

He would still be the best pitcher if he carried less mass. Correlation isn't causation.
Congratulations, your kid is fat. What a great parent you are.
BMI is a terrible measurement for tall, muscular athletes. By those standards, Arnold Schwarzenegger classified as obese when he was literally Mr. Universe.
As a bigger guy playing baseball, I see this as a win. My nickname in the dugout is Thicc Nick btw.
Fuck yeah
your videos are so well done so well informed and just completely enjoyable to watch keep it up!
Alot of those ovrerwieght listed players are just tall. Aaron Judge is 282 lbs. but hes 6'7
Exactly. For Example, Yordan Alvarez weighs 225, and is included in the "overweight" category in the video, even though his BMI (26.5) is lower than his teammate Jose Altuve's (26.7). Freddie Freeman is also "Over 210 lbs" but he's nearly a foot taller than Altuve, so his BMI is lower. It's not just about being "fat" it's about being big.
Bartolo is every casual rec players hero. That man is a national treasure LUL

I have basically zero previous interest in baseball but I’m SO glad this channel showed up in my recs. This stuff is SO interesting!!
I LOVE baseball because the health grind obsession and body shaming doesn't apply. As John Kruk said in Sports Illustrated like 30yrs ago when interviewer tried to shame him for his unhealthy habits as an athlete, and he repsonded "i ain't no athlete, I'm a baseball player." He had a monster season.
Ozzie Guillen calling Jenks out of the pen is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen
Very funny as a Mets fan that a Vogelbach clip was used for “hit balls farther than ever.”

@@mikerogers5086 never said he was bad, but the man sure isn’t a power hitter. His strength is his discipline.
@emilyg3758 his strength wasn't home runs, but his exit velocity was in the top category in the league. His hitting came from his power.
@@mikerogers5086 Well yeah, but the comment was about driving the ball far, not hitting line drives into gaps. One doesn't typically refer to a gap hitting leadoff center fielder as a "power hitter" even if he can hit the ball hard, so why should we apply a different principle to Vogey? There's more than EV that goes into power hitting.
Side note, if you looked further into the stats you're referencing for 2023, you'd see that his 17.6% bump in hard hit% and 4.1mph increase in average exit velo was accompanied by a nearly 10% bump in ground ball percentage. His ground ball/fly ball ratio increased by .24 points! All of this resulted in a whopping... .032 point decrease in slugging and a 0.8 point reduction in hr%. Oh and to do all this he took a nearly 5% point hit in his walk rate. So he isn't hitting the ball any farther than he has in the past. And that's okay! HRs aren't his strength.
Historically, his value has come from his on base skills, not his average or slugging. A good example is to look at years where his EV and hard hit% have been down, like 2022 or even 2020. His effectiveness really doesn't reduce that much. He's still walking, he's still hitting line drives, and he's still effective. That's discipline, not power.
I can't believe how often you're able to release videos with this kind of depth.
I feel like your masterpiece on Japanese baseball just came out!
This channel is a wonder.
When BDE posts a new video, I stop what I’m doing and watch. Even when I’m driving.
The fear of running makes them hit harder
No joke, the longest homerun I ever hit in my modest playing career was a game where I was sick as hell, I had been throwing up all night and barely could walk. I was hitting leadoff so I just took a big vicious hack at the first pitch, because I was hoping to hit it a mile and not have to run the bases, fastball right down the middle, I cracked that sucker over the scoreboard in left center, probably about 380 maybe 400 ft.

love your content. some guys are just huge and heavy but by no means over weight - like judge and stanton, they are just monsters among men. but i always thought the big guys had a distinct power advantage as well
I love how people in this day and age still think the most bogus unscientific statistic, BMI, means anything in regards to your health or fitness. Would love to see a video on how 99% of all NFL players not named Devonta Smith are "overweight" when he's less than 2 BMI points away from being "overweight" lol
THIS comment. The BMI wasn't even invented for what it's used for now. The guy who came up with it was only trying to see what averages were for men, and he only studied white European men. He specifically said it shouldn't be used for any individual recommendations. It wasn't meant as a measure of who should lose weight or not, it was just a measure of what average was. If they had all been fatter, the average would have been fatter, too. But now we're all reduced to a number and most people aren't going to get down to the "right" BMI and stay that way.
Great video. Prolly one of my favorites from the channel
I have to thank you for making interesting content. This is a video that’s not only informal but it’s also entertaining . Cheers my guy. 🍻🍻
In the list of the best players of 2016, most of them were more muscle than fat I will give you Ortiz Cruz and Cabrera but the rest of those guys were mainly muscle or were simply taller guys
BDE is asking the real questions here
Nah, the real question is is: how fat would Ohtani have to get to win cy young and the triple crown in the same season?

You’re seriously the best sports show on the internet or tv. Nobody even comes close flemlo is probably second. But you keep people interested in baseball who’s interest is either fading or never had any to begin with.
Aaron Judge is 6'7" 280 isn't THAT heavy for that height
Height doesn’t matter

And he's muscular, not fat. Statistics would suggest he'll probably be a giant whale after he's been retired for a few years 🤣🤣, but as of now, he's not fat at all.

There are also many past and current players that were great despite being fat or not. It might work for some as you pointed out, but I also think of Ted Williams, DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, Bob Gibson, Hank Aaron, Griffey, Aaron Judge, Ohtani, Ichiro, Nolan Ryan, Pedro Martinez.. The list can go on all day, but I would say that fitness and strength is directly related to athletic performance. The players today look pretty strong and in shape, but it’s also interesting to see how that’s not the case at all like the evidence in the video. This is what makes baseball interesting to me. It’s mental, unpredictable and relies on instinct more than athleticism sometimes. Great videos, man! Keep it up!
This video made my day as I have often thought about this subject but not seen anything about it. The before and afters are just epic and show what our shittte American diet can do to even supposed in great shape baseball players. Colon is and was a freak of nature.

In summary: extra weight helps in positions where leverage is important - hitting and pitching. Makes sense.
Extra weight will reduce performance where speed/cardio/nimbleness are needed - fielding and base running.

Not sure about Lincecum in this video. He was always a smaller guy who threw gas, but his size scared many teams away. He got sick one offseason, and lost all kinds of weight and was a string bean. He gained the pre-illness weight back, but he never recovered his velocity.
Hi.... Nobody can drink 73 beers on a flight. Assuming he drank cans that's 6 gallons of liquid. That amount of liquid consumed in a short time can kill you, even if it's water.

both are bad
@jonathansykes4986 not really I'm overweight with single digit body fat
I love your videos... best in baseball... so entertaining!!!
All of his compilations now have full length videos he has completed the infinity stones
The whole premise of this video is stupid. Saying guys are “technically overweight” when they are 220-240 pounds of muscle is ridiculous. BMI is incredibly outdated and if it was taken seriously in sports the majority of athletes across all sports would be considered obese.
I think his point is that if that's the case, then MLB is behind the times because they are trying to get people to hit target weights simply based on their height. Also, it seems like Baseball is the closest to Sumo and American Football in encouraging being so muscular that it almost makes you look fat.
George Foreman famously won the heavyweight crown back in his late 40s. He had always been a power puncher young, and when he was older it was more of the same. He gained a substantial amount of weight and that was just more force into his punches. Makes sense to me from the stand point that the force is generated from your hips and having more weight around your hips puts more mass into movement at the most critical stage.
Also, the Mariners catcher referenced in this video was Jesus Montero, not Miguel Montero.
I remember he was a skinny kid on thr yankees and he really lost himself.
This is what i needed to see today.
Nothing Better than a BDE video on a Sunday
