Pete Alonso Powers Up Monday With Solo Homer, RBI Double
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso powered up on Monday night with a solo home run and an RBI double in a 14-2 onslaught victory against the Minnesota Twins. He went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and three runs scored in Monday's win. Alonso has had a subpar season in the power department for his standards, as he's barely on pace to crack 30 home runs this year, where he was able to smack 40-plus long balls each of the last two seasons. It doesn't bode well for the 29-year-old slugger who hits free agency for the first time in his career, especially since power-hitting first basemen have been moderately valued over the past few seasons. If he can find his vintage power stroke and boost that batting average up to the .270 range, he should be highly sought after by teams during the offseason, but if things go south for the Polar Bear for the last couple of months, he could be headed for a one-year prove-it deal in 2025.

Pete Alonso Goes Deep On Tuesday
Pete Alonso turned in a productive game in a 6-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a double but it wasn't enough to overcome the Twins. The veteran infielder kicked off the scoring in the game with a solo homer in the first, a shot that traveled 416 feet with an exit velocity of 106.9 MPH. Alonso is off to a great start this season, hitting .356 with five homers, 11 runs, and 20 RBI through 59 at-bats. While the batting average won't last as he's never hit over .271 in his career, Alonso remains an elite source for homers and RBI in all fantasy leagues.

Pete Alonso Goes Deep In Second Straight Contest
Pete Alonso went 1-for-3 with a two-run blast and a walk during their victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday afternoon in their home opener. Alonso wasted little time as he went deep in the opening frame off Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman. This blast also scored shortstop Francisco Lindor, who hit a leadoff double. Alonso would cross home plate again later in the sixth inning on a Starling Marte sacrifice fly. Since tallying just one hit in the first three contests of the regular season, Alonso has gone 6-for-15 at the plate with three home runs, two doubles and 10 RBI over his last four games. The 30-year-old has a disappointing 2024 campaign, to his standards, as he held a .240/.329/.459 line with 34 home runs. He will look to continue this hot stretch on Saturday, facing Toronto right-hander Chris Bassitt.
