Es oficial, el lunes, después de que la liga y el sindicato llegaron a un acuerdo que puso fin a los 99 días del paro laboral de la MLB, los jugadores de las Grandes Ligas llegaron a los campamentos de primavera. Mientras todos estaban felices de estar en el campamento, el primera base de los Mets Pete Alonso estaba especialmente agradecido por estar en el campo de juego.

El lunes, cuando hablaba con los reporteros en el campamento de los Mets en Port St. Lucie, Fla., Alonso reveló que el domingo se había visto involucrado en un choque automovilístico muy grave. Según Alonso, alguien se pasó la luz roja y se estampó contra su Ford, su carro dio varias vueltas antes de que tuviera que patear el parabrisas para poder salir del auto. Su esposa Haley venía en el carro de atrás y llamó a la policía.

Alonso agregó que las personas que venían en el carro que lo golpeó también estaban bien; dijo tener suerte de estar vivo.

Traducción 1: Pete Alonso dijo que ayer estuvo en un accidente automovilístico brutal. Su carro dio tres vueltas. Dijo que se siente afortunado de estar vivo.
Él se encuentra bien y regresará al campo mañana.
Traducción 2: Aquí tienen un poco más sobre Pete Alonso y su accidente y lo bendecido que se siente de estar vivo.

 

Alonso reflexionó sobre el choque:

“Estoy tan contento. Cada día es un regalo. Hoy es realmente especial para mí. Hoy me divertí mucho allá afuera, trabajando, viendo a todos. No creo haber sido nunca así de feliz al presentarme al entrenamiento de primavera. Una vez más, es realmente impresionante cómo estoy aquí. Soy muy afortunado de que todos estén bien. Estoy realmente contento de que mi esposa entró en acción en ese momento. Fue la mejor. Mucha carga emocional, pero aquí estoy, feliz y sano.”

 

Traducción: Pete Alonso dijo que ayer estuvo en un accidente (dijo que otro carro que se pasó la luz roja lo había centrado e impactado, su carro dio más de tres giros y tuvo que patear la ventana para poder salir), pero él y todos los demás están a salvo. “Solo estoy realmente agradecido de estar vivo… gracias Ford por tener una ingeniería maravillosa”.

 

El choque ocurrió en el área de Tampa, mientras Alonso y su esposa estaban en el proceso de reubicarse para el campamento de entrenamiento de primavera. Afortunadamente, todos los involucrados se encuentran bien.

The Mets’ Pete Alonso revealed he was in a serious car crash on the way to spring training

“Today’s really special for me.”

Major Leaguers officially arrived at spring training camps on Monday after the league and union reached an agreement to end the 99-day MLB lockout. And while everyone was certainly happy to be at camp, Mets first baseman Pete Alonso was especially grateful to be taking the field.

Speaking to reporters on Monday at Mets camp in Port St. Lucie, Fla., Alonso revealed that he was involved in a serious car crash on Sunday. According to Alonso, his Ford was hit by a red-light runner, and his car flipped multiple times before he had to kick out the windshield. His wife, Haley, was following in the car behind him and called the police.

Alonso added that the people in the car that hit him were also fine. He said he was lucky to be alive.

Alonso reflected on the crash:

“I’m just so happy. Every day is a gift. Today’s really special for me. I just had a blast out there today, doing work, seeing everybody. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier showing up to spring training. Again, it’s truly amazing how I’m here. I’m so fortunate that everyone’s OK. I’m just really happy that my wife sprung into action when she did. She was a trooper yesterday. A lot of emotional toll, but I’m here, happy and healthy.”

The crash happened in the Tampa area as Alonso and his wife were in the process of relocating for spring training camp. Thankfully, everyone involved was OK.

This former Gator named NL Rookie of the Year

Jonathan India is the National League Rookie of the Year and is the second Gator in three years to win the award.

For the second time in three years, a former Florida Gator has won the Jackie Robinson National League Rookie of the Year Award. Second baseman Jonathan India received 29 of 30 first-place votes and became the eighth Cincinnati Red to take home the award.

India led all rookies with 98 runs, 34 doubles, 57 extra-base hits, a .376 on-base percentage and a .835 OPS. He also led NL rookies with 69 RBI, 143 hits, 21 home runs and 12 stolen bases. He became the frontrunner for the award in the second half of the season when Miami pitcher Trevor Rogers took time away from baseball to tend to a family emergency. St. Louis’ Dylan Carlson came in third place but he failed to steal a single vote from India.

Although the Reds came up short of the playoffs, Cincinnati finished third in the wild card race. After securing his Rookie of the Year Award, India will look to help the Reds take that next step forward in 2022 and make the playoffs with him as an established starter.

India knows what it takes to win a championship, too. In 2017, he helped lead the Gators to their first-ever NCAA Championship. He left Florida as one of the greatest to ever wear the orange and blue on the diamond after being selected fifth overall in the draft by the Reds.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, the last Gator to take home the NL Rookie of the Year Award, congratulated his former teammate on Instagram.

“Congratulation to my former college teammate (Jonathan India) on winning the ’21 NL ROY,” Alonso wrote. “Such an unreal honor. Many more accolades to come your way my man.”

Epic overlay video shows just how consistent Pete Alonso’s Home Run Derby pitcher was

The real MVP of the Home Run Derby.

Mets slugger Pete Alonso put on an absolute show in Monday’s Home Run Derby to lock up back-to-back titles in the event for the first time since Yoenis Cespedes in 2014.

Between the 35-homer first round — which knocked out the Royals’ Salvador Perez despite a solid 28-homer effort — and his 20 dingers of 475-plus feet (keep the Home Run Derby in Denver permanently), Alonso’s performance deserved a ton of praise.

But we can’t overlook the man who tossed the batting practice pitches to the Mets first baseman.

Mets bench coach Dave Jauss served as Alonso’s pitcher, and where other BP pitchers struggled with consistency (looking at you, Jason Brown), Jauss was a machine out there.

The 9 best moments and facts from Pete Alonso’s second straight home run derby title

Another amazin’ performance.

The Polar Bear did it again.

New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso became the third back-to-back Home Run Derby champion — Ken Griffey Jr. did it in 1998 and 1999, and Yoenis Cespedes did the same in 2013 and 2014.

He set a record in Round 1 with a whopping 35 dingers — which you can watch below! — to beat Salvador Perez. He took down Juan Soto in the second frame, and then defeated Trey Mancini 23-22 in the final round.

He said he feels like the best power hitter in the game, and for one night, that was most certainly the case. Let’s break down some of the best moments, stats and facts from his amazing night:

Trey Mancini at the Home Run Derby: photo gallery

Look at the Notre Dame product on his big night.

Trey Mancini may not have won this year’s Home Run Derby, but he won plenty of support with the 59 homers he slugged over three rounds. The Notre Dame product and Baltimore Orioles slugger is coming off of stage 3 colon cancer, but there was much more to the story than that. He had Irish pitching coach Chuck Ristano as his personal pitcher, fulfilling a promise he made after the duo teamed up to help him win the 2012 Big East Home Run Derby. Although it seemed far-fetched at the time, things always have a way of working out.

Were it not for Pete Alonso of the New York Mets putting on a winning show for his second straight win in this event, we’d be talking about something too whimsical for real life the comprehend. Alas, Mancini will have to settle for the title of Home Run Derby runner-up. Here are some images from his big night in Denver:

WATCH: MLB Home Derby odds and bets with Shohei Ohtani, Pete Alonso

The Post Game previews Monday’s MLB All-Star Home Run Derby, featuring Shohei Ohtani and Pete Alonso with betting odds and picks.

The 1998 MLB season was when Mark McGwire hit 70 home runs, but Ken Griffey Jr. was the slugger who put on a show that fans are still talking about at the Home Run Derby during MLB All-Star festivities at Coors Field in Denver, Col. The All-Star Game is back in the Mile High City, and this time the buzz surrounds Angels star Shohei Ohtani.

Ohtani leads the majors with 33 homers at the All-Star break, so it’s no shock to see he has been installed as the favorite for the Derby. Check BetMGM for the most updated odds.

Notre Dame product Trey Mancini to compete in Home Run Derby

The Irish will have representation for the return of the Home Run Derby.

For the first time, Notre Dame will have representation in Major League Baseball’s Home Run Derby. That representation will come from Baltimore Orioles slugger Trey Mancini. The Irish baseball Twitter account sent its congratulations his way:

Mancini has 14 home runs this season and is among the major-league leaders in RBIs with 52. He joins a field that currently has Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angels Angels and defending champion Pete Alonso of the New York Mets. The field will be rounded out with five more participants before the event is held July 12 at Coors Field in Denver. It will serve as a tuneup for the All-Star Game the next day.

Mancini is in the middle of quite the comeback season after he missed 2020 to be treated for Stage 3 colon cancer. However, the Orioles are dead-last in the American League and pretty much have no further use for Mancini’s services. It’s likely he gets moved at or before the trade deadline, and there are a few teams that could benefit from him.

 

Pete Alonso will attempt to defend 2019 Home Run Derby crown

The Polar Bear, as he is affectionately called, will have some stiff competition this year including two-way Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani, who is tied for the MLB lead in homers with 23.

Former Florida baseball star Pete Alonso announced Wednesday that he will try to defend his Home Run Derby crown in Denver next month. The New York Mets first baseman won the event in 2019 when he outslugged Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 23-22 in the final round.

“I had so much fun during the first one, so I was like, ‘You know what? Let’s do it again,'” Alonso said, according to MLB.com. “I just had a blast.”

The Polar Bear, as he is affectionately called, will have some stiff competition this year including two-way Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani, who is tied for the MLB lead in homers with 23.

Alonso also hasn’t sent too many baseballs out of the yard with only 11 this season. But the Derby is being held at Coors Field, where he’s homered three times in six games. Regardless of how many home runs he has, Alonso is guaranteed to be the top seed in the event because he is the defending champion.

[exco_embed id=“e5869bc6-faf6-4b7a-8c06-b5610c96a8fe”]

He will try to be the fourth player to win the Derby twice. Alonso sits sixth in All-Star voting among National League first basemen, but he doesn’t need to be an All-Star to compete.
