Nico Partida reveals possible secret to his success in prank: pancakes

Yahoo Sports

The Aggies are on a roll, and freshman standout Nico Partida has been no small part. Partida credited a possibly fake tradition for his success.

Texas A&M freshman phenom Nico Partida is on a roll as the Aggie baseball side recovers from a disappointing start to the SEC schedule with a 6-game win streak. Partida has had 12 hits and 14 RBIs over this stretch, which certainly helped his case when Perfect Game named him Midseason Freshman of the Year . KBTX anchor Nick Kuzma asked Partida about the hot start to his collegiate career.

Kuzma reported, “His secret? Chocolate chip pancakes. ” The press response in question begins with Partida shouting out the mentally tough Aggie team, saying, “We’re just a really good team with responding, and I feel like all of us show up every day, and it’s a new day.

” This fortitude certainly helped Texas A&M recover from losing their first two conference series and sweep Missouri, a series that infamously removed the team from postseason contention last year. Partida then showed appreciation for his “lucky pancakes in the morning, which can get us right. ” Kuzma added that the lucky cakes were chocolate chip pancakes, a breakfast delicacy all of us surely enjoyed in our teenage years.

It’s uncertain just how this meal became a lucky tradition for Partida, however, or if this is even a tradition at all. . @partidanico1 now has 12 hits and 14 RBI during Texas A&M's six-game winning streak.
