Christian Yelich is pretty sure Jose Altuve is seeing beach balls at the plate

Let's be very clear: Christian Yelich is no slouch at the plate. The new Brewers outfielder is a career .290 hitter with one of the sweetest left-handed swings in the game. But even to a player as good as Yelich, AL MVP José Altuve is an absolute wonder. Yelich might make hitting look easy, but Altuve takes it to a different level.

Hey @josealtuve27 how big does the ball look when you’re hitting?

Here are some other social media highlights from this past week... Yelich wasn't the only one admiring a fellow big leaguer this week. Joc Pederson seems to enjoy hitting behind Corey Seager:

You probably saw Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s incredible walk-off home run in Montreal, his father's old stomping grounds. Vlad Jr.'s teammate and fellow uber-prospect Bo Bichette certainly liked what he saw:

No one is safe from photobombs in the Pirates locker room -- especially not from your podcast co-host. Steven Brault learned this the hard way:

Astros outfield prospect Kyle Tucker had a fantastic Spring Training with the big league club, leading all Spring Training hitters with 21 RBIs. In his final game, however, he struggled at the plate. Kyle's older brother Preston -- now an outfielder with the Braves -- was more than happy to overreact to the spring stat line:

Overrated!

The end of Spring Training meant Major League moving days for all the players leaving Arizona or Florida for their home cities. Justin Verlander is no different:

And of course, after a long winter, Opening Day finally arrived. Players were, predictably, very excited:
