“I never looked at it like I needed to lose weight,” Blanton said. “It just kind of happened.”
Joe’s fastball velocity was up last season, and he posted his second straight year with a much better FIP than ERA. The Angels might be in for a treat with him.

Losing 30 lbs in a few months does not just happen, even if he worked out more. He either gave up some food/drink/drug that was contributing to the weight in the form of fat and/or water retention or he has an illness (diabetes or worse).
If it is the former then good for him.
