  Not sure where you’re getting this info from, because it’s horribly wrong.

  Per Baseball Reference, corroborated by Savant:

  • Rich Hill is not an active MLB player
  • Verlander weighs 240
  • Scherzer weighs 208
  • Martin is 39yo, 6’8”
  • Santana is 40yo, 5’10” 210lb

  Leaving aside that you’re calling 43yo/6’5”/240lb “old and fat”—that’s below average BMI even before accounting for BMI not accurately representing the fatness of elite athletes

    And yet somehow the part where there are active MLB players who share names with Cold Play’s lead singer and Carlos Santana is not wrong.

    In true shitpost fashion, I make shit up as I go. I was too lazy to do any real research. I’m too lazy to verify your shitpost isn’t doing the same thing. Either way, ponder this:

  Pitchers stand there for a lot of the game and need to be tall to throw so it makes sense that most of your list are pitchers past their prime.

      BMI measures how statistically healthy one is if they were an American from the late 1800s. It doesn’t work well with tall people because they didn’t exist back then.
