The Arizona Fall League kicked off this past week, and after an incredible 2018 season, New York Mets first base prospect Peter Alonso picked up right where he left off.
After finishing the minor league season tied for the league lead with 36 home runs, Alonso added one more long ball to his resume with a first week two run home run.
In total for the week, he hit .500/.556/.750, and along with the home run he added a double, six runs scored, four RBI, two walks, and two stolen bases.
Josh Norris of Baseball America notes that Alonso is a “strong, patient hitter who knows the strike zone and could provide a welcome power boost in Citi Field early next season.”
Alonso told Drake Dunaway of MLB.com that he is “just trying to be the best baseball player I can be.. I’m working hard every day and I can’t wait for that opportunity”
