Mariners 2023 first-round pick Tai Peete had a night to remember on Sunday. The 18-year-old enjoyed his best game at the plate of his professional career while featuring for the franchise’s Single-A affiliate, the Modesto Nuts.
During Sunday’s clash against the San Jose Giants, Peete hit two grand slams. Even more remarkably, he hit them in consecutive innings.
Peete’s first grand slam came in the seventh inning, and he followed that up with another bases-clearing bomb in the eighth. By the end of the night, Peete was responsible for eight of the Nuts’ 12 runs, in what finished as a high-scoring victory, 12-11.
