Gwynn Jr. Collects First Hit

8
Vote

Milwaukee Brewers' outfielder Tony Gwynn Jr. collected his first Major League hit on Wednesday. Pinch-hitting in the ninth inning of the Brewers' 7-6 loss to the San Francisco Giants, Gwynn laced a two-out double to record hit number one.

The fact that he did it may be less of a story than when he did it. Gwynn Jr.'s first major league hit came exactly 24 years to the day after his father, Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, collected his first major league hit.

I believe papa Gwynn first hit came against the Reds? ANd think Jr is only a little over 3,000 hits behind his pa this morning. :)

Is Gwynn Jr. supposed to be as good of a hitter?

That is a good question. I havem't really hard any real scouting report on him. I seem a few fluff comments here and there, but nothing that digs deep.

He struggled tremendously through the minors, especially last year, his first in Triple-A, but this year he hit over .300 (on the low side not the high side like his dad) but he has great speed, something that passed his father by quickly in his career. Jr. is the prototypical leadoff hitter, gets on base and has the ability to steal a lot of bases (I think he was fifth in the PCL in SBs when he was called up) and could easily take Brady Clark's place in center sometime in the near future.

It's also worth pointing out that Senior Gwynn's first hit was a double as well.
