You've seen the Trout tire workout and Hector Santiago kiss/push-up/sit-up combo. It's Bartolo Colon in the DR time! pic.twitter.com/G6LxOX5D9e

The Mets’ Bartolo Colon is one of the most loveable characters in the MLB, and most of that is due to his waist size. The 43 year-old pitcher is still thriving in the big leagues, and he has managed to do so with one of the larger belly’s you will see around. Colon recently resigned with the Mets for 2016 and will be pulling in around $7.25 million.
It looks like Bartolo is taking that contract seriously, if these workout videos are any indication. The videos were posted by baseball reporter Jesse Sanchez who is with Colon in the Dominican Republic. I am certain that I could not do what he is doing with those ropes, and therefore I will never make another joke about the big fella’s eating habits.
Good for you, Bartolo.
Give Bartolo Colon credit. He's 43 in May & is already grinding for 2016. He also runs an academy for teen prospects pic.twitter.com/R3fQJyajtp
