Scott Kingery Showed up to Phillies’ Camp Looking Incredibly Jacked
By Will Coleman
Philadelphia Phillies utility man Scott Kingery has impressed teammates and coaches his last several Grapefruit League campaigns, but this Spring Training the 25-year-old showed up with a new look.
After improving upon virtually all of his hitting statistics in 2019, which was just his second year in the big leagues, Kingery is poised for more opportunities to play this season. With that mind, it appears that Kingery spent a lot of time in the weight room this offseason. The man is looking YOKED.
And we thought Scott Kingery looked big last year... this guy shows up to camp looking absolutely MASSIVE.

Kingery looks like he's been training with Derek Dietrich. Having more than doubled his home run total from 2018 to 2019, perhaps Kingery can build off that stat once again with his new and improved look.
With Didi Gregorius at shortstop and Jean Segura at second base, Kingery is likely to man the hot corner come Opening Day. And let's not forget he has ample experience playing the outfield.
Joe Girardi says that both Jean Segura and Scott Kingery will get reps at third base throughout Spring Training.

If Kingery takes another step this season, the Phillies' offense could cause problems for a lot of opposing pitching staffs.
