His brother Gus, battling cancer, received life-changing support from Shohei Ohtani, who quietly covered his medical bills. Varland’s rise from minor league struggles to elite form was fueled by coaches who refined his mechanics, boosted his velocity to 98 mph, and honed his devastating changeup. The Blue Jays’ bullpen tradition—getting a hard smack from the coach before every appearance—adds a spark of focus. And it all started with his parents’ work ethic. Varland’s success proves that greatness is built on a foundation of support, sweat, and smart coaching. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
