    Pete Alonso with a .386 and 3 HR. Pretty good, right?

    You could teach outfielders off of that clip for positioning yourself to get off a good throw—

    Harrison Bader was credited with 2 RBI's for the Cardinals today the hard way. He was hit by a pitch twice today, both times with the bases loaded. That hasn't happened in MLB since Reed Johnson in 2005!

    Path to the majors: Q&A with Pete Alonso
    • By Jake Dreilinger and Sam Campisano, Alligator Sports Writers
    • Apr 12, 2019
    Sports editor Jake Dreilinger and staff writer Sam Campisano talked to former Gators and current New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso on Wednesday before the Mets' victory over the Minnesota Twins. He is batting .378 with 17 hits and six home runs this year.

    Hear what Alonso had to say about his transition from college to professional baseball, if the College World Series prepared him for the bigger stage, and why he dislikes the metal bats used in college ball.

    How has the transition been from college to the minors, and then from the minors to the majors?
    Pete: It’s been awesome. The beautiful thing about professional baseball, whether you’re in the minors or in the big leagues, is that there’s no school. You don’t have to worry about crushing a 12-page paper the night before you play a top-ranked SEC opponent. Or you don’t have to worry about taking finals and then having to play Georgia in a big series that weekend. Or you don’t have to worry about missing class and then being a week behind and then playing catch up and then never being able to work ahead. So, that’s nice.

    Alonso with another HR today. He is on pace for 61 HRs and 146 RBIs while hitting .325.

    Obviously he will begin to slow down as more and more tape exists on him but his HR today was 444’. It isn’t like he is just barely clearing the LF wall...

    Gators in MLB: New dad Zunino hits 2-run HR to help Rays
    By The Associated Press
    April 23, 2019
    The veteran catcher out of the University of Florida was reinstated from the paternity list, three days after the birth of his first child, and hit a two-run shot that helped the AL East leaders stop a season-high four-game skid with a 6-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.

    “Man, I didn’t promise that, but I’ll definitely take it,” Zunino said. “You know, that was a very special moment in life and my baseball career. It’s something I’ll never forget.”
