The baseball career of Pete Alonso has been short, but it has been potent.
Alonso won the National League Rookie of the Year in 2019, while leading the NL in Home Runs (53) and Extra Base Hits (85) while going to the All-Star Game and earning All-MLB 1 honors. It was a great start, but it also exposed that the First Baseman was prone to striking out often, was slow, and was not a great defensive player, yet his power made Pitchers shiver.
Since that time, Alonso finished third in Home Runs in 2020 and 2021, and was second in 2022 year (40) in a year where he won his first RBI Title (131). The power kept on gushing from Alonso's bat last year with 46 Home Runs and 118 RBIs, but his .217 Batting Average was his lowest to date.
The two-time Home Run Derby winner is one fo the top power hitters in Baseball and will rocket up this list if he stays a Met for years to come. Alonso enters 2025 with 226 Home Runs, and will break 250 this year.
