Mark and his cast mates portray fictional members of the San Diego Padres, who all take part in a nude photo shoot as a sign of support for teammate Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury) after a hacker leaks old naked images of her.

The photo shoot, which took place on Thursday's episode entitled San Francisco, exhibited off all the hard work the actors have put into honing their physique. 

What a bunch of sports: Mark and his cast mates portray fictional members of the San Diego Padres, who all take part in a nude photo shoot as a sign of support for teammate Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury) after a hacker leaks old naked images of her 

They're not shy! The stars sure weren't afraid to show some skin

Mark admitted he started working out specifically for this moment months ago. 

'We didn’t put in extra work the day before. We put in extra work months before,' he told Entertainment Weekly. 'Production gave us a heads-up that this was a storyline because they know how important it is for us to get into shape and to look the part. 

'Mo McRae and I have been on very strict diets since the beginning of the show because we were preparing for these scenes.

'For me, I’ve had to gain some extra weight to look the part. We all sort of help each other with our diets and our workouts and keep each other honest during the process, because it’s hard to be on set all day and have craft service there and not get yourself in trouble. 

'The day before, you don’t drink water, and before the scenes, you work out to pump yourself up — all of which I’d honestly rather not do, but I was glad with the results. 

'I have so much respect for the people who do magazine spreads and model because it’s not easy.' 

Pitch currently airs every Thursday on Fox.
