Mets React to Major Pete Alonso News on Monday
Mets React to Major Pete Alonso News on Monday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso is on a heater this season. The 30-year-old is slashing .301/.396/.594 with 17 homers and a MLB-high 61 RBI through 66 games. Meanwhile, his .990 OPS also ranks fifth. Advertisement Alonso leads New York in batting average, homers, RBI, OBP, slugging, hits (75), total bases (148), doubles (20), and WAR (2.9). However, the four-time All-Star also leads with 62 strikeouts. Still, there's no shame in striking out when a player tops his team in almost every major category. If Alonso isn't leading in any stat, he's among the top contributors. For example, he's second in walks (33) and third in runs scored (41). The former Rookie of the Year was named NL Player of the Week on Monday, via the Mets' social media. New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (12) and first baseman Pete Alonso (20)© Isaiah J.

Alonso went 3-for-6 with two homers and 4 RBI in New York's 13-5 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. The 6-foot-3-inch, 245-pounder is now on a six-game hit streak and has hits in 14 of his last 15 contests. Next up for the Mets is a six-game homestand vs. the Washington Nationals and Tampa Bay Rays, respectively. After that, they'll hit the road to play the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies before returning home to face the Braves again.
