Daniel Murphy who? New York Mets new second-baseman Neil Walker just smashed his record-breaking ninth home run of April.
This guy is just unbelievable right now.
Yeah, sure, Washington Nationals second-baseman Daniel Murphy is leading the National League in hitting right now with a batting average close to .400. That is true.
But the new second-baseman who makes his living at Citi Field has just clubbed his ninth home run of April – a new franchise record.
In the bottom of the third inning in a 2-1 game against the Cincinnati Reds, Walker hit a solo shot to extend the Mets lead to two runs (video above). To make it even more impressive, he took it to the opposite field.
