My Take
Kapler's whole arc reads like an underdog screenplay to me. Drafted in the 57th round, 1,487th overall, he had every reason to wash out, yet sheer work ethic and an almost monastic devotion to fitness turned him into a big leaguer, then a manager, and now a Marlins front-office executive. I respect that he pairs old-school grind with modern analytical thinking, refusing to be just one type of baseball mind. The discipline he applies to his body and his decisions is striking. I am a sucker for stories of people who simply would not quit, and his is one of the best.
