Orioles RHP Ryan Webb credits October shoulder surgery for helping him to lose weight.
Webb, who arrived at spring training weighing 245 pounds last season, reported to Orioles camp at 228 this year.
After surgery to tighten the capsule in his left shoulder, Webb didn't have much appetite. "I had the surgery, so I took a couple weeks off and that actually helped because I didn't eat as much then," he told MASN's Roch Kubato.
Webb had regular rehab work at Camden Yards, which helped him drop the weight. In addition to regular workouts, he began drinking juice and cut down on bread and fats.
Webb went 3-3, with a 3.83 ERA in 51 games last year.
