Andrelton Simmons Has Just Hit Puberty
Andrelton Simmons has admitted in a NotGraphs semi-exclusive that he has just hit puberty.
As we all know from experience, that journey can lead to all sorts of interesting places.
Will Simmons enjoy himself and the creature comforts?
If so, he’ll probably need to move back to the mound and work on a trick delivery.
Will he be a workout warrior?
If so, he may need to move down the defensive spectrum to accommodate.
If the author’s experience means anything, it will be awkward, lengthy, trying, and ultimately very embarrassing. We wish Simmons the best of luck.
With a phone full of pictures of pitchers' fingers, strange beers, and his two toddler sons, Eno Sarris can be found at the ballpark or a brewery most days. Read him here, writing about the A's or Giants at The Athletic, or about beer at October. Follow him on Twitter @enosarris if you can handle the sandwiches and inanity.
I noticed that line in your fangraphs piece on Andrelton. Be a bit of a late bloomer.
