5May. HR number eight: What happened before the home run is the story with this one as Alvarez took what he thought was ball four. The home plate umpire called the pitch from Yusmeiro Petit it a strike. What happened next was beautiful.
We’ll let the video do the talking.

2May. HR number seven: Greg Brown the Pirates broadcaster does it so well. Listen to his call of the 408 foot bomb by Pedro Alvarez off Sergio Santos here.
Pedro Alvarez crushes his seventh home run of the season.
18April. HR number six: Watching Alvarez crush a ball (again) 411 feet to the opposite field is exciting for Pirates fans; but such power is dreadful for opposing pitchers. Rule 5 lefty Wei-Chung Wang of the Brewers–formerly of the Pirates–found out the hard way when he watched this bomb travel a true distance of 411 feet. The MLB Link is here
Pedro Alvarez hit his third and fourth home runs of 2014.
10April. HR number five: El Toro blasted his first home run off a left hander this season. The 441-foot absolute bomb off Cubs left hander James Russell to deep to center field will be one of the longest of the season for Alvarez. (Maybe.) The MLB Link is here
We absolutely love how Alvarez looks into the Pirates dugout–and everyone goes nuts with the Bull horns after El Toro touches them all.
9April. HR number four: El Toro blasts a 94 mph heater from Pedro Strop 379 feet to dead center field. Video Link to MLB
Pedro Alvarez blasts his fourth home run to dead center field at Wrigley Field.

Pedro Alvarez crushes his third home run of the year off Jason Hammel
4April. HR 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. HR numero uno: El Toro crushed his first home run of the season 434 feet off Shelby Miller of the St. Louis Cardinals.
