Don't Call Alek Manoah Fat
Alek Manoa is a bad man on the mound. Few pitchers pound the zone and induce weak contact as successfully and consistently as Manoah. He pitched his way to an All-Star appearance in 2022 thanks to his high-level heater and imposing presence–one that comes with a 6-6, 285-pound frame.
Not everybody appreciates Manoah’s stature, apparently.
Former New York Mets backup catcher was speaking on MLB Network when he hoped Manoah would “Show me you’re willing to put a little more time into the gym.”
The jab wasn’t well-received.
“My job isn’t to please you,” started Manoah, quote tweeting the clip. “You are an outsider you don’t know me or my work ethic. What I do in the gym clearly worked check the numbers, sucks you can’t say the same for yourself.”
The Toronto Blue Jays star didn’t pull any punches, and he shouldn’t have. Recker’s comment was reckless, unnecessary, and irrelevant given Manoah’s game. Much like his own MLB experience, Recker swung and missed.
Manoah continues to shine as a prime example of beauty in its biggest form, controlling his powerful frame to wipe out slimmer, more athletic hitters.
Pro tip: don’t repeat Recker’s sentiments. You’ll probably be proven wrong.
