CC Sabathia hit 2 solo homers, 1 with a single runner on base, 0 with two men on base, and 0 grand slams. Sabathia homered off 3 different pitchers during his career, connected most often while batting ninth in the lineup, and drove in 4 total runs when he went deep!
How did CC Sabathia lose weight?
Sabathia employed various diets throughout his career. He lost 30 pounds before the 2012 season and switched to a vegan diet to expedite his recovery process from knee surgery before the 2018 campaign.
CC Sabathia’s kept busy since he retired from baseball at the end of the 2019 season.
He sat down for an HBO Original documentary about his life, career, and struggles with alcohol addiction (he’s over six years sober), moved his popular baseball podcast R2C2, hosted with announcer Ryan Ruocco, over to The Ringer Podcast Network and recently accepted a role as MLB’s new Special Assistant to the Commissioner.
Last week’s press release read: “An advocate for amplifying diversity, strengthening the sport, and impacting the community, CC will bring a player’s perspective as a liaison for decision-making.” Expect Rob Manfred to lean heavily on Sabathia, regarded as one of the game’s most popular players from the last two decades, as he looks to repair his shattered, post-lockout reputation with players.
