How are MLB players spending their free time during season halt?

Amid the pandemic due to the COVID-19 virus, all major sports have been shut down indefinitely. Major League Baseball was set to open March 26 but the starting date now is unknown. As easy as it is to be lazy and sit on the couch all day, these Major Leaguers still have a season to be prepared for.

Despite everything going on, MLBers are remaining positive during this time. Take a look at how the players are still getting ready for a season that has an unknown beginning:

Marcus Stroman, New York Mets

Marcus Stroman is known for his tremendous athleticism and is seen on social media always working to perfect his craft. He also knows how important it is that pitchers continue to throw on a regular basis.

Joey Gallo, Texas Rangers

Everyone knows that sweet left-handed swing Gallo obtains and seen here he works on it in his home while showing off the beautiful view.

Javier Baez and Jose Berrios

A classic family vs. family competition! Javier Baez from the Chicago Cubs steps in the box versus his brother-in-law Jose Berrios from the Minnesota twins.

Nelson Cruz, Minnesota Twins

The big man himself seen here working out to keep the strength and mobility up for the pending season. Perhaps these behind the scenes workouts is why Nelson Cruz is able to blast 35+ home runs each season.

Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels

The best player in baseball still has to get his work in! Here’s Mike Trout keeping his arm ready with some long toss throwing.

Nolan Arenado, Colorado Rockies

Five straight Gold Glove seasons don’t come from slacking off! Seen here is Nolan Arendo working on fielding.

Wilson Contreras, Chicago Cubs

Probably the best one we’ve seen yet, Wilson Contreras and his brother got fancy with a gun that shot out ping pong balls. The baseball is going to look pretty big when he steps back onto the diamond.
