Rondon makes Sid Fernandez look svelte – even after his fifth plate at a buffet.
For you youngins that don’t know who El Sid is: think Heath Bell if he put on 50 pounds.
JacksTigers
Yeah, this is an enormous exaggeration. Rondon is listed at 6’2 and 190 pounds. He’s a little bigger than that, but good God, I have know idea who you’re mistaking him with.
JacksTigers
And now that I look up Sid Fernandez, he was 6’1 and 220. These people aren’t as big as you make them sound.

Try going to Google Images and type in their names. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
JacksTigers
Still have no idea what you’re talking about. Rondon is not that big.
NoahYingling
I know Rondon (as Vin Scully would say) “is a big boy” but baseball reference has him listed at 190 which is a lie but Fernandez was listed at 220. I think Rondon could be 270
JacksTigers
Have you ever seen the guy in person? He’s no more than 220. He just wears baggy shirts that make him look bigger than he is.
NoahYingling
Yes I have last season in Toledo. Was impressed w/ 102 on the gun and seemed to have decent control. So honestly don’t care what he weighs.
JacksTigers
The sky’s the limit. He could be a dominating pitcher for years to come.
NoahYingling
Now that I think about it, Rondon is probably 230-250

I’m 6’1″ 255 and Rondon doesn’t look any heavier than me

The guy is 6’2… 265. There are plenty of football players with that build and don’t look fat. Rondon isn’t that fat, he’s just “cheeky” and has a round face
safari_punch
With four chins.
With a guy that young losing control of his conditioning – it doesn’t bode well for the future. And I don’t mean a competitive buffet eating contest with Prince either (as he is a vegetarian).
tesseract
He’s not losing control of his conditioning in fact. He used to be closer to 300, now down to 265. The guy is a beast, that’s why he throws 102 mph

Prince isn’t a vegetarian….However at one point he was.

Rany really needs to shut his pie hole…and it would be great if MLBTR would quit quoting him.
vtadave
Did he kill your dog or something?
