In a gravity-defying feat, the White Sox outfielder nabbed a home run from Yonder Alonso.
Knowing that Engel’s Twitter handle is @manofsteal, it is easy to see why he uses that moniker. He is also using the name on the back of his Players’ Weekend jersey.
It is clear that the “steal” in his nickname is not from stealing bases, but from stealing home runs. He’s robbed three of them this week alone.
For the record, Engel has stolen 12 bases this season. It might not be the most in the league, but it is the second-most on the team.
