Former Florida Gators trending in opposite directions in MLB update

With two months of the MLB season in the books, several former Florida Gators are carving out distinct narratives.

Wyatt Langford continues to show signs of growth with the Texas Rangers, while Pete Alonso, despite strong season-long numbers, has cooled off at the plate.

On the mound, Brady Singer is still battling consistency issues but remains a fixture in the Cincinnati Reds rotation.

This weekly roundup breaks down how five notable Gators are performing based on recent trends, not just season stats. Whether they’re heating up or hitting a rough patch, these Florida alumni are staying relevant in big league storylines.

Wyatt Langford: Outfielder, Texas Rangers

Last 7 Games: .222 AVG | .300 OBP | .259 SLG | 6 H | 3 BB | 2 SB

2025 Season: .244 AVG | .326 OBP | .777 OPS | 9 HR | 20 RBI | 10 SB

Langford didn’t add to his home run total this week, but he still made an impact with his legs, swiping two bases and drawing three walks. While the strikeouts are a concern, the former Gator’s blend of power and speed keep him a constant threat in the Rangers’ outfield.

Pete Alonso: First Baseman, New York Mets

Last 7 Games: .185 AVG | .233 OBP | .296 SLG | 5 H | 1 HR | 3 RBI | 2 BB

2025 Season: .291 AVG | .391 OBP | .927 OPS | 10 HR | 40 RBI

Alonso is in a bit of a rut, hitting just .185 over the last week. He did go deep once but continues to pile up strikeouts at an uncharacteristic rate. Even with the slump, his .927 OPS ranks among the league’s best, reinforcing how dangerous he remains when locked in.

Last 7 Games: .115 AVG | .233 OBP | .192 SLG | 3 H | 1 RBI | 3 BB

2025 Season: .226 AVG | .327 OBP | .626 OPS | 1 HR | 12 RBI

Jonathan India’s struggles continued with just three hits in 26 at-bats. His on-base percentage remains respectable thanks to a few walks, but his power has been virtually nonexistent.

Unless he finds his groove soon, India may be in danger of falling down the Royal’s batting order.

Last 7 Games: .167 AVG | .250 OBP | .292 SLG | 4 H | 1 HR | 3 RBI | 1 SB

2025 Season: .276 AVG | .348 OBP | .792 OPS | 5 HR | 21 RBI | 6 SB

Harrison Bader hit his fifth home run of the season and continues to add value with his defense and base-running. Though he’s hitting below .200 for the week, the veteran outfielder has maintained a steady presence for Minnesota and remains one of their more reliable options in the outfield.

Brady Singer: Starting Pitcher, Cincinnati Reds

Last 3 Starts: 2-1 | 5.71 ERA | 34.2 IP | 36 H | 22 ER | 16 BB | 28 SO | 1.50 WHIP

2025 Season: 5-3 | 4.88 ERA | 51.2 IP | 46 SO | 1.35 WHIP

Singer’s past three outings have been a roller coaster. He earned two wins but gave up 22 earned runs in just under 35 innings. Control issues continue to plague him–his WHIP sits at 1.50 over the last week–but he’s still managing to keep the Reds competitive.
