Pittsburgh Pirates left fielder Alex Presley was chasing a fly ball during a spring training game against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday when he tripped and did a face plant in the outfield.
Alex Presley face-plants while trying to chase down Danny Valencia's home run.
It happened in the top of the sixth inning when Twins infielder Danny Valencia hit a deep fly ball which ended up being a 3-run home run. Presley started to chase the ball when he lost his footing and landed flat on his...Read Full Story
The Phillies’ first loss of the season is now nearly a couple of hours old, but the final call is one that has left Phillies’ fans in discussion. Was Alex Presley safe on his infield single? Initially, I thought so. And CSN’s replay appeared to confirm the call on the field. I had no argument. [...]Read Full Story

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Alex Presley hasn't let a little nerve damage stop him from having a breakthrough season for the Pirates.
The 25-year-old Presley is batting .314 with two homers and 13 RBIs in 33 games and has impressed manager Clint Hurdle so much he's been elevated to leadoff.
Not bad for a player whose promising season appeared to be in jeopardy after injuring his thumb against the Cardinals in late July. He spent...Read Full Story

A full slate of Friday action, and then some:
-P- Indianapolis dropped Louisville, 4-1. Alex Presley came in hitting .179 since his demotion, but went 3-4 and came up a HR short of a cycle. Jeff Larish went 2-4 with a double and Brian Friday 2-4 with a triple. Justin Wilson started and allowed only three hits and a run over 5.1 IP, but struggled to throw strikes. He walked five and threw only 57 of 101 pitches for strikes. He did fan six...
The Pirates' left fielder, Alex Presley, was demoted to AAA earlier this week, for a level of offensive performance that would ordinarily be considered "bad." The problem was that while this is objectively true, Presley's performance was more "typical ...
The Pirates have sent Alex Presley to Indianapolis and recalled Evan Meek. The Pirates would have been operating with a short 'pen due to Brad Lincoln's spot start. They'll probably send Meek back down in a couple days, then recall Jake Fox for the interleague series in Detroit.
Presley certainly played his way out of a starting job pretty quickly. I can't say I'm particularly upset about his demotion; he was really getting...
Google revealed nothing. Clint Hurdle has seemingly just benched Presley for no reason. Sure, Presley is not batting well. We are a full month into the season and Presley is only batting .239 and has a hideous .259 on-base percentage. Jose Tabata plays ...
To have both Navarro and Harrison in the lineup is unusual, since they’re both backup infielders who perform similar functions. But the Pirates probably wanted to give struggling outfielder Alex Presley a day off against the lefty Detwiler.
The Pittsburgh Pirates' offense is so abysmal Alex Presley, their fifth-best hitter, was demoted to the minor leagues and richly deserved it. Imagine what that says about the rest of the lineup. Presley, the opening day left fielder and leadoff man, was ...
I can't handle Presley being our leadoff hitter all season. Tabata is a bad leadoff hitter, but I think Presley is worse.
The dude not only never takes a walk but he sees SO FEW pitches. I know this is an acquired skill but he's to the ridiculous level with how few pitches he sees. He's not doing the rest of the team any favors by first-pitch hacking.
BTW - as of this morning we have 5 BBs and 38 K's as a team.
I have been big on Alex Presley since seeing him play in Altoona. The same reasons I became a fan are the reasons why I think he is the guy to lead this team by example. I was at the game where he had the game winning hit. You can't help but get excited about a guy who beats out a single to win the game. He hustles every chance he gets. If you didn't notice the next day, he was asked to sac bunt and he almost beat it out for a single...
A clutch double by Rod Barajas and a game-winning RBI infield single by Alex Presley led the Pirates to a 2-1, 10-inning victory over the Phillies Saturday night.
The Bucs and Phillies had a pitchers' duel for the second straight game, with the Bucs getting only getting two hits in six innings off Cliff Lee and Jeff Karstens only giving up one run in six innings. (Karstens struck out two and walked one -- a very Karstens-y...
Grilli was motivated by the presence of Bree McMahon, 19, a former high school soccer standout ... The Pirates have played 21 games. Only Andrew McCutchen and Alex Presley have reached 70 at-bats. • Alex Presley went 0 for 4 with a walk ...
