NORTH PORT, Fla. ― Many times, pitchers who experience long layoffs due to injury face this question: How confident are you that you can get back to being the guy you were before the injuries?
Nick Anderson, on the other hand, is trying to do the opposite of that.
“Something that I kind of really had to work on this offseason was just relaxing and not necessarily trying to get back to that guy,” he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Trying to chase who you were before or how things felt before kind of can lead you down not necessarily the best path.”
