He figured he'd face off plenty against Jerkson Profar of the Atlanta Braves. But Profar Guy hit with a full season suspension for using performance enhancing drugs. That means no match-ups at all next year. The suspension covers every single one of the 162 games. Miles handed it down after Profar tested positive. McCullis could not have predicted it, but he shared his straightforward take on a recent podcast. He pointed out that players already have big contracts, so just focus on doing your best legally. Plenty of options exist now, like better rest, red light therapy, and legal supplements. No need to risk cheating with steroids. McCullis brought up a Metz minor leaker named Ryan Lambert, who boosted his velocity by eating 30 raw eggs a day. He contrasted that with just taking one illegal shot daily, the choice seems obvious to him.

1:02Overall, McCullis stands firm on playing clean in Major League Baseball. Profar's choice led straight to missing the whole season. It drives home how tough success is without shortcuts.
