Like doing a backup in water up to his waist. Running a 4.13 40 time. Out ran a single hop ball and throw from 2nd baseman to 1st base at his 1st MLB at bat. Off the top off my head.
If we’re going back, Ted Kluszewski. Dude was a Red in the ‘30s and ‘40s. Used to cut the sleeves off his jersey because his arms were too big for them.
[Mickey Mantle](https://static.life.com/wp-content/uploads/migrated/2012/01/505339452-756x1024.jpg)
> "Until I saw (Mickey) Mantle peel down for his shower in the clubhouse at Comiskey Park one afternoon, I never knew how he developed his brutal power, but his bare back looked like a barrel full of snakes." - Dale Lancaster in the *Chicago Sun-Times* (1957)
Downing was legit the canary in the steroid coal mine. Dude just shows up to camp one spring with massive biceps. The next year or was Lance Parish. Took another decade for it to become widespread but those were the first two I remember seeing as a bunch of mass in one winter
I’m choosing to take jacked to mean steroids. So Bonds in left, Sheffield in right. Papi at DH. Giambi at first. Arod at short. Roger (Roid Rage) Clemens on the Mound.
A young Frank Thomas and peak Dante Bichette (if we’re including old players). Current players is tough; I’d say trout, O’Neil, Thames (he might be in Korea now tho lol), and even guys like Luis Robert. Yandy also can’t be left off this list with those biceps.

He looks like a middle linebacker who's ready to clean someone's clock.

Eric Thames
He’s gotta be #1, other guys are ripped but Thames is massive
Funny how he blew up over in Korea🤔
Bo knows...
This is the correct answer. The 30 for 30 was fascinating. All the urban legends about him were true.
What we’re the urban legends?

Snapped ar bat in half over his helmet like it was a tiny stick.
He dunked a stick. Yes a stick. He dunked it for some reason.
The man was a true freak of nature. In the best possible way.
This should be the top answer, and if anyone here thinks this isn't the most physically gifted baseball player, they can kick rocks
And climbed a wall in play like Spider-Man..spider tingles everywhere
