“A lot of baseball moves come from your core-a strong core helps you to hit, play defense, dive for the ball, to throw, to do it all. “Core strength is so important, it’s my favorite workout,” Correa told Men’s Fitness. How did he do it? Countless hours in the gym and hard work in the batting cage. Correa played a major part in making that happen, putting his team in position to keep winning for years to come. Just a few years ago, the Astros were losing 100-plus games per season-one reason why they were able to draft Correa with the top pick in the draft-and now they are champions.

Now, he’s helped his team win the 2017 World Series over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 6’4″, 220-lb Correa has quickly become one of the most exciting players in baseball, blasting home runs, playing Gold Glove-caliber defense, and leading his team to the top of the American League. Instead, clubs want a heart-of-the-order hitter who can handle the most important infield position-and Correa completely fits the bill. Teams are no longer satisfied with defensive wizards whose glove skills make up for less-than-average offense. The Houston Astros star, along with players like Addison Russell, Corey Seager, Francisco Lindor, and Xander Bogaerts, are changing what it means to be a shortstop. The MLB shortstop revolution is here-and it’s being led by Carlos Correa.
