The Mets have been hit by a record 110 pitches this season — Pete Alonso by 12 of them.
According to Nationals TV analyst Kevin Frandsen, the Polar Bear could stand to handle it more like Braves third baseman Austin Riley. Riley took a pitch off the elbow pad from Cory Abbot, the 16th time he’s been beaned this season. He shook it off and jogged to first.Kevin Frandsen, a former MLBer, used Austin Riley’s HBP to take a shot at Pete Alonso and the Mets.“Totally different than Pete Alonso, huh?,” Frandsen said while calling Nationals-Braves for MASN on Monday. “Austin Riley gets smoked right there and doesn’t make a really a big deal about it.
Frandsen took the opportunity to also get in a shot at Mets manager Buck Showalter, who has been vocal all season long about his batters getting hit by pitches. “You don’t have… Where’s [Braves manager Brant Snitker] at?,” he wondered. “Is Snit at the top step like ‘Why’d you throw at my guy?'”
