Jesse Winker’s career was sputtering after down seasons in Seattle and Milwaukee. A renewed commitment to fitness has turned things around.
The Nationals' Jesse Winker has nearly quadrupled his career stolen base total in the first half of this season. Midway through the 2023 season, with his career sputtering, Jesse Winker called Chris May, a personal trainer with whom he’d worked years earlier.
“I was very heavy,” said Winker, who declined to say what his actual weight was at the time. “I was just sick of looking at what I was looking at in the mirror … I just had a feeling he’d be the right guy. He’s had a lot of success at getting guys in better shape and getting them ready for the fight of 162 games.”Winker’s intuition proved correct. After a transformative offseason working with May, he signed a $1.
As part of a comprehensive program that also included physical therapy and a meal prep service, Winker worked out with May four to five times a week, three hours at a time. He started those days early, driving nearly 90 minutes from his home to May’s North Tampa facility for 7 a.m. workouts. “I’ve just seen it with how I felt on the bases, with how I feel running, how I wake up in the morning, how I’ve recovered. Everything,” he said.
