        This article's numbers for @MLB are based on a chart that says a 6'2" male weighing 195 is "overweight." #cuckoo

        Agreed. Poorly written article and does not take in account that BMI is misleading

        BMI does not take in account muscle mass. Your article assumes that the higher BMI = unhealthy

        Muscle mass is higher and most good strength/power athletes have ⬆muscle mass.

        overly simplistic idea of "overweight" gives you this absurd premise.
