Pedro Alvarez Home Run Tracker

Pedro Alvarez Homerun Contest

The 2014 Pedro Alvarez home run tracker sits at seven after the big blast against the Toronto Blue Jays. El Toro now has seven home runs.  The quick start has him on pace to eclipse last season’s 36 homers, which left him tied for the National League lead in bombs. (Pitchers are starting to get nervous)

4April. Number Two: Pedro Alvarez murdered a Shelby Miller changeup 434 feet. Pedro don’t like the changeup. Don’t like it all and had struggled against it last season. To watch him crush it completely out of PNC Park is awesome. We don’t know what the opposing pitchers are thinking after they see it. Good luck sleeping, fellas.

Just watch this El Toro Bomb entirely leave, I mean completely get launched out of PNC Park. There was absolutely no doubt about this one. Man, we could watch this GIF all night long. There was no doubt about this one, as it traveled an estimated 448 feet.

4April. Number one: El Toro crushed his first home run of the season 417 feet off Shelby Miller of the St. Louis Cardinals.
