Pete Alonso AGREED to a million-dollar contract with the Mets – SwingCompleto

By Guillermo Sanchez

If we talk about names that have covered the first base throughout history, historical names such as Prince Fielder, Adrián González or Carlos Santana can come. Today, in fact, we remember as if it were yesterday, well, it almost was, seeing Albert Pujols or Miguel Cabrera himself.

In fact, if we look at the names that we will see this 2023 campaign, I can tell you about some characters that draw masses of people, both because of their charisma and their talent: José Abreu, Freddie Freeman, Paul Goldschmidt or Anthony Rizzo. Let’s hope to see Yuli in MLB this 2023 too.

Y Pete Alonso? Well, I left it last because I will tell you about it in this writing. In 2022 he took 597 official at-bats in 160 games, yes I know: AWESOME! He left an offensive line of .271 / .352 / .870 with 162 hits, including 40 homers and 27 doubles, 131 RBIs and 95 runs scored. ALL AN MVP! Well, at least for the New York Mets, it is.

Yes, as you read, he set a record for a first baseman at the umpiring level. And to think that in 2024 he will do the same.

The slugger led the major leagues in 2019 with 53 home runs and won National League Rookie of the Year that season. In 530 career games in four seasons with New York, Alonso has hit 146 home runs, 90 doubles and 380 RBI while hitting .261 with a .349 on-base percentage and .535 slugging percentage.
