VIDEO: Joey Gallo's Home BP Setup Will Definitely Spook His Neighbors
By Will Coleman
With practically all sports on pause right now, the coronavirus outbreak has forced professional athletes everywhere to get creative in finding new ways to stay both active and entertained. Some are taking up new hobbies and talents or enjoying the extra time with family, while others can't seem to get away from the games they love. Rangers slugger Joey Gallo, for example, is busy crafting his approach. From the comfort of his living room, Gallo posted an exclusive batting practice session that will ultimately leave baseball junkies in their feelings.
If you've ever dealt with a neighbor that keeps you awake at night with a ping pong or foosball table, imagine having to put up with this. And for someone with a swing like Gallo, his BP sessions are probably that much more alarming.
But, hey, at least he apologized.
Gallo's 2019 season was shortened to just 70 games due to a pair of midseason injuries, but he made the most of it. The 26-year-old turned in a career-high batting average and made his first All-Star Game appearance, and he just had to hit a homer in his only at-bat. If Gallo can stay healthy for most of the 2020 season, he'll be one of the American League's toughest outs at the plate.
Gallo hit his 100th career home run last season in just his 377th game, but the best is yet to come for him.
