Big Day for DeLaet: Swats 5 Hits
Wednesday, April 22nd , 2026
Denver first baseman Matt DeLaet had a big day at Ballpark of Lexington against the New Rochelle Purple Wave. The 25-year-old, who is not typically considered a big threat with the bat, went 5-for-6 and led to the 8-1 Pilots triumph over New Rochelle.

"Hey, I'm as surprised as you guys are," DeLaet said in his postgame comments, smiling as he scolded the press corps for underestimating him. "Maybe I'm not so bad at the plate after all."

Matt DeLaet singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and flied out in the 9th.

Currently DeLaet is batting .462 with 1 home run, 3 RBIs and 2 runs scored.
