Pitchers and catchers are reporting? It's the Spring Training Thread!

As is tradition, post headshots so we can make fun of players and pictures from workouts so we can speculate about things like how much weight Moises Ballesteros has gained/lost in the offseason.

Connor Schultz is interesting.  He's an older relief prospect they signed out of Indy ball who ended the year on a real heater at Tenn.  This would indicate there might be something there.

I know teams tend to dig a little deeper for catchers for ST but I also like the vote of confidence for Ariel Armas.  Maybe the most underrated prospect in the system.

I can't remember which reporter it was that would always post the fuzziest, crummiest ST pics every year....Marc Gonzales maybe?  That was a fun little yearly tradition.

Only a handful of players are wearing these. No idea what they are for.

They monitor athletes during performance. Speed, direction, how hard they are working, etc. Just tracking extra data.

Soccer players wear them a lot.

Posting random photos of players from the practice fields. I’m assuming just about all of the players I’m seeing are minor leaguers.  
 

interestingly to watch them do some drills like running leads from second, outfield ball location, etc.

Tennis players as well. Thankfully these things weren't around when I was active in sports so my coaches couldn't see how much I was dogging it in practice.

Same for my adult baseball league. And less "dogging it" but more "I don't need everyone to see data on what a 38-year old looks like on that level" 

I'm barely holding it together at this point.
