After signing a minor-league deal with the Rockies July 10, veteran first baseman Yonder Alonso has wasted no time demonstrating his mastery of Triple-A pitching.
In his first seven games with the Isotopes the 32-year-old former all-star is hitting .417 (10-for-24) with a home run, three doubles and eight RBIs. Alonso signed with Colorado after being released by the White Sox on July 3, a move that followed his difficult .178 start to the season.
A former No. 7 overall draft pick in 2008 by the Reds out of the University of Miami, Alonso has played for six major league teams.
