That guy from the Orioles (I forget his name) that passed on in Spring training last year was also a pitcher. It would be interesting to do a study and see if the effects of constantly putting strain on one half of your upper body like pitchers do, has detrimental effects on the heart that cause this type of collapse or if this is all just conincidence. I don't remember any players ever collapsing like these guys did no matter how bad of shape they were in.
