Is Kyle Schwarber on PEDs or did he just "turn it on" at age 30?

You can safely assume that most players are on something at levels that won’t flunk a test or during a training phase when they’re not tested.
But he’s not the biggest outlier. Always hit for power and has continued to optimize in that direction now that consensus strategy is that it’s fine to be a HR or strike out guy so long as you hit behind some guys with decent OBP and draw a few walks because pitchers are afraid to throw strikes to you. Baseball conventional wisdom until recently frowned on batting averages below .250 and 200-SO seasons.
Much crazier examples exist in the no-testing steroidpalooza days, like Clemens and Bonds being in peak physical condition at 40, Nomar converting from a scrawny infielder into a power hitter, Canseco looking like some kind of half-orc drawn by an imaginative child.
