The New York Mets’ powerful batter Pete Alonso has been slugging home runs like nobody’s business. His bat has developed into a tool of unimaginable power, and he just hit his 40th and 41st home runs of the season, a big milestone. Not many Mets players, it should be noted, have ever accomplished such a feat. Alonso has a unique position in history because of his propensity for launching baseballs out of the park.
The scope of Alonso’s extraordinary skill goes beyond Citi Field. He has now joined a select group of athletes who had three seasons in which they hit 40 home runs or more. With this accomplishment, he joins the select few and the cream of the crop.
He is a top player in baseball because of his dependability and power at the bat. The Mets are now in a bind. Alonso’s contract raises doubts as his profile rises even higher. The team’s ownership, headed by Steve Cohen, must decide whether to give Alonso a sizable deal to lock down his spot on the squad.
It’s a complicated position that has only been made more difficult by the team’s earlier, ultimately unsuccessful efforts to move Alonso. The choice made about Alonso’s contract at this pivotal time will shape the future of the Mets.
