Steve was a young pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. According to this story, heat exhaustion got the best of him. A very sad way to start the season. My sympathy goes out to his family and teammates.

Update: It's worse. According to this on FoxSports.com, his wife is seven months pregnant.

Update: I'm sorry, I had Steve's name misspelled earlier. Thanks to Ben Jacobs for pointing out the error. Ben also points out that an article ran last night that Bechler did not report to camp in shape. This Washington Times article points that out, and also claims Bechler had ephedrine in his locker.
