Mets Pitcher Chris Flexen Has Undergone A Big Transformation

by Nick Giacone February 13, 2019 0 Comments

Chris Flexen is putting in some serious offseason work. According to MLB’s Anthony DiComo, Chris has some renewed focus on his career:

I try to shy away from the cliched best-shape-of-my-life thing, but pitcher Chris Flexen's story is above and beyond. He dropped 30 pounds this offseason in what he called "career check" time, eating healthier and working out all winter at the Mets' Port St. Lucie facility.

Further proof can be found if you follow Chris on Instagram. He posted a pretty telling before-and-after pic:

 

The physical results speak for themselves, but Flexen also boasts a change in his mental energy.

Chris has always showcased the right attitude towards the game. When asked to make a spot start or long relief appearance, he’s done so in stride. If you met him at 2018’s QBC, you’re well aware he’s a likable kid. This re-established approach should excite his teammates and coaches, as well as endear him to the fans as he fights for an Opening Day roster spot.

And because #MetsTwitter is the gift that keeps on giving, the story isn’t complete without some Flexen puns:

weird flexen but ok

In all seriousness, a big congrats to Chris on the transformation. I wish him luck in Spring Training and hope the hard work pays off.
