Houston Astros left fielder Yordan Álvarez made himself known at Tropicana Field during batting practice before Tuesday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Álvarez apparently hit a ball so hard during Tuesday’s batting practice that he broke the Tropicana Field scoreboard in an absolutely hilarious snafu, per MLB.com Astros reporter Brian McTaggart.
This apparently isn’t the first time the Astros slugger has broken a scoreboard. He accidentally damaged part of the Minute Maid Park scoreboard in Houston during batting practice in 2019.
The Astros have to love Álvarez’s range and power at the plate when he’s up to bat, but we’re sure they’d love it if he’d quite literally go easy on the scoreboards from here on out.
How 💪 is Yordan Alvarez? Apparently he broke the Tropicana Field scoreboard during batting practice.
