The Indians must be happy Wittgren is keeping in shape with his unique workout routine.
And when Wittgren's not working out, he's coaching the next generation of sluggers.

Charlie Blackmon
The Rockies star is prepping for his post-career life in home improvement.
I just went into the scary basement, fought off spider webs, and fixed my hot water heater with actual wrenches. This is how bad we need baseball to come back. #socialDIYstancing
