Mets' Pete Alonso Would Be 'Honored' to Participate in 2019 MLB Home Run Derby

Pete Alonso has been the New York Mets' best position player in 2019. And now he's hoping that will translate into an invitation to this year's Home Run Derby.

"I would love to do it," he said Tuesday, per Mike Puma of the New York Post. "I think that would be fun, a real amazing thing to do, but I haven't heard anything yet. I would be honored to do it for sure."

"It's fun to watch, it's a real great atmosphere, and I just think it would be a real fun time," he added.
