Toronto Blue Jays star slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. took a different direction in his 2020-21 offseason, he put his nose to the grindstone and got to work, shrinking from a rotund 261 pounds to an athletic powerhouse athlete of around 219 pounds. 

The expectations for Vladdy (aka Vladimir Guerrero Jr.) since he entered Major League Baseball back in 2019 had been high. As reported by Yahoo! Sports on his 2020 season with the Toronto Blue Jays, "it’s safe to say that Guerrero Jr. hasn’t lived up those lofty heights just yet". 

The 2020 baseball season had not gone according to plan, with the young athlete struggling offensively and being moved from third to first base. He also arrived at training camp out of shape that year, having put on weight during the sport's months-long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

"For the last couple of years, they knew I was coming here out of shape," Guerrero said and was reported by ESPN. "I didn't prepare myself very well and I felt like at that moment that my teammates needed an apology from me".  "One day, I woke up from bed, looked in the mirror and said, 'That's it,' " he recently told reporters via Zoom, according to The New York Times.

Embarrassed by his 2020 Season

Embarrassed and apologetic after arriving out of shape at summer camp in 2020, the Blue Jays slugger decided he really needed to work on his conditioning this offseason, Guerrero Jr. was determined not to show up to another spring training carrying more weight than he wanted. That's where his journey began to his losing 42 pounds.

As the Toronto Star reported, “the young player sent a text message to a personal trainer in the Dominican who he had only heard stories about. Guerrero Jr. wasn’t exactly sure what he was looking for. He just knew he was ready to do whatever it took to get better, and the person at the other end of the phone might help him get there”.

His Trainer Introduced Him to the Feel Great System

His trainer introduced him to the Feel Great System and he started using it everyday. In addition to that, Guerrero Jr. followed an exercise regime of high-intensity workouts and improving his agility movement. His trainer was also determined to work on his mind and ensure this would be a lifestyle change, not just a body change. He also implemented healthy habits that included portion control, healthy fats, lots of vegetables, no alcohol and an early dinner each day - all challenging tasks for anyone with Dominican roots.

Guerrero Jr. Lost 42 Pounds

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. worked hard to get in shape ahead of the 2021 season. When he first showed up for spring training earlier this year, the 22-year-old Toronto Blue Jays player shared that he had lost 42 lbs. during the offseason. As he states, "It really changed things for me".
