Pitchers are the biggest violators.

The only reasons I could ever think of are that there are less pitchers in the league leading to fewer instances of them getting caught and the fact that the media likes to dumb down the conversation as much as possible so that they don't have to work as hard as they should.



Except there were more pitchers caught juicing.

It merely allows them to recover faster between starts and training.



Yeah, but this is HUGE for a pitcher, especially a reliever. Like a couple of guys who used to close games in LA and San Diego...

Compare Dennis Eckersley photos from his years with Boston and Cleveland to his years with Oakland. He was skinny as could be when he was a starter for Boston and Cleveland, but he was buff when he was a reliever for Oakland and teammates with Canseco and McGwire.

Pitchers had to step their game up so they could "K" steroid sluggers. Now that steroids are largely ruled out of the game, it's evolved into a pitchers game. Perfect games, no hitters, and the like will be much more common over the next ten years, than the last ten, I guarantee it.

Simple.
