Pitchers in Major League Baseball are throwing a lot of heat these days and part of the reason why is that they are all getting stronger from the ground up.
Braves right-hander Spencer Strider is one of those pitchers and a quick look at him tells you he must get a lot of his power from his muscular legs. Those legs were on full display during Atlanta’s win over the Mets on Monday in which Strider went five innings and got his fourth victory of the season.
Here’s a look at a man who absolutely does not skip leg day:
