Pete Alonso Continues Offensive Surge
2 years agoNew York Mets' first baseman Pete Alonso continues to thrive at the plate, as he drove in four runs in the Mets' 9-4 win over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. Alonso cranked his ninth homer of the year and currently leads the majors. The Polar Bear is fourth in the majors in RBI (19) and owns a 1.024 OPS. Over the past 15 games, the first baseman is slashing .322/.394/.729 with eight home runs and 17 RBI. It will be quite difficult to shatter his 53-homer rookie season in 2019, but Alonso is certainly on track, considering that he's paced for 72 home runs. With the Mets beginning to pick things up, it's quite imperative that Alonso's bat stays hot. On the year, the 28-year-old is hitting .286/.375/.649 with a .433 wOBA and 175 wRC+.
