The Mets are excited that Pete Alonso walked three times against some team’s minor leaguers in an exhibition game, so therefore all of Pete’s batting woes are solved.
“That is one of the things that got me excited the most in the game, just watching him walk,” manager Luis Rojas said. “Pete has got to take what they give him.”
“Three walks in spring training, those were just big at-bats, quality at-bats,” Rojas said. “And you’re sending the message about your discipline and letting everybody know they have to come to the zone. They have got to come to you. They have got to get you out.” (via NY Post)
Look I can hear your twitter replies already – WHAT YOU DON’T WANT HIM TO WALK?
It’s good that the walks. Anything other than a strikeout is good. I am just, as always, warning everyone to tap the breaks before we declare he isn’t going to chase this slow and away pitches.
