San Jose State in MLB | Week of Sept. 27
Charles McAdoo gave San Jose State alumni something to cheer about on Sunday, going deep in Toronto's 5-1 win over Cincinnati to close out a late-September homestand.
The Blue Jays second baseman went 1-for-the-day with a home run and two RBI, also scoring a run as Toronto cruised past the Reds. The blast pushed McAdoo's season average to .258 — a respectable number for a player carving out his place in a big-league lineup.
It was the kind of performance that tends to get lost in the final week of a long season, but for a Spartan product making noise in the majors, it's worth the spotlight. McAdoo has quietly built a credible stat line in 2026, and Sunday's two-RBI shot was a reminder of the pop he brings to the middle of the diamond.
No other San Jose State alumni logged game stats during the period. Fineas Del Bonta-Smith (Pirates, P), Theo Hardy (Rangers, SS), and Ruben Ibarra (Reds, 1B) are among the Spartans currently on MLB rosters, keeping the school's footprint in the league notable even as the regular season winds down.
