Braves' Matt Kemp: Has shed close to 30 pounds

Kemp lost almost 30 pounds during the offseason, Bleacher Report's Scott Miller reports.

Analysis:

Here's another "Best Shape Of My Life" story with some history. Kemp has battled issues with his physique on and off throughout his career, most memorably in his days with the Dodgers, who traded him partially because of them. A trimmer Kemp hopes to continue the revival he enjoyed last year, including the 35 homers that marked his highest total since his historic 2011 season. Perhaps he'll attempt to steal more bases, as well, which would further bolster his fantasy value.
