Yonder Alonso On Life As An All-Star, Adapting To America a More
Yonder Alonso left the University of Miami an All-American, two-time participant in the College World Series, and first-round pick who’d go on to sign a $4.55 million contract with the Reds. Without some wise foresight and guidance from his parents, he might’ve left the school a week into his freshman year, or not even attended at all. Alonso is the latest guest on From Phenom To The Farm. They talk... * Baseball helping him adapt to life in America after defecting from Cuba as a child. * Being persuaded by parents to attend Miami instead of sign. * Playing in the College World Series twice * Trying to learn the outfield while being blocked by Joey Votto at 1st. * Playing in his only ASG in his hometown of Miami.
