21 seconds agoAfter a substandard season in 2024, New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso worked hard in the offseason to figure out why his swing got "out of control" in the regular season, per The Athletic's Will Sammon. Co-hitting coach Eric Chavez said Alonso learned the importance of his hips as a power source. Alonso has his hips in the right position before and during his swing, and Chavez said the power hitter has "actually learned how to hit." "It's the best I've ever seen him. I'm very, very optimistic that Pete is going to have a monster year," Chavez said. Ideally, the 30-year-old will both refine his swing and chase bad pitches less frequently. The four-time All-Star bounced back in the batting average department last year, but his .788 OPS was a career-low, and his 34 homers were his fewest in a full season in his career. Staying in New York is a positive for his fantasy value, and fine-tuning his swing mechanics could indeed return Alonso to an elite power guy.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
