Remember Dave Jauss, the New York Mets bench coach back in 2021 who threw so well at the Home Run Derby to help Pete Alonso win back-to-back titles?
Well, he wasn’t there at the 2023 derby with Alonso, who was eliminated before Vlad Guerrero Jr. won. Instead, it was Mets assistant Aaron Myers who stepped in when Alonso’s other pitcher, Mike Friedlein, who tossed to him.
And Myers was great at painting the outside corner, which was either Alonso’s strategy all along, or just weird consistency. It was better than what Adolis Garcia got!
