After the first Grand Slam of the season that Pete Alonso connected for the New York Mets this Saturday, now it was the Latino power’s turn to be the protagonist with a couple of hits with the bases loaded by Dominican Gary Sánchez and Colombian Óscar Market on this Sunday’s MLB day.
In the case of Gary Sánchez, he was the first Latino to connect a Grand Slam in the season 2022 by pulling a shipment of Marco Gonzales and place him on the third floor of Target Field in Minnesota.
Sánchez premiered with his new team after being traded from the New York Yankees and just one day after where the ‘mockery’ went by celebrating a home run before time also against Seattle.
The important thing is that his home run helped Minnesota Twins to obtain the first victory of the season, 10-4 against Mariners.
Another who hit a Grand Slam was the Colombian Óscar Mercado, who collaborated in the biggest beating to date of the season where the Cleveland Guardians won 17-3 to Kansas City Royals.
In addition to the home run At a full house, Mercado also tripled and went 2-for-6 with five RBIs to his account.
Latino power is just beginning and the hits by Sánchez and Mercado will not be the only ones that will be seen this season in the Major Leagues, because according to data from ESPN journalist Marly Rivera, a total of 218 Latino players started on MLB team rosters.
Although this number is expected to increase as the season progresses with new additions coming from leagues minors.
