Mets' 2019 Team Awards: MVP, Comeback Player of the Year, and more

It didn't end the way we hoped, but the Mets' 2019 was nevertheless a year to remember...

MVP and Rookie of the Year

Pete Alonso

It can be argued that Jacob deGrom is the MVP. However, Alonso's impact was undeniable.

From his power to his ability to generate headlines, winning the Home Run Derby, breaking all sorts of MLB rookie records and essentially taking New York City by storm while inspiring his teammates throughout the year, he is easily their MVP (and Rookie of the Year) for 2019.

In less than seven months, Alonso went from a top prospect with no big-league experience to the cornerstone and future of the entire franchise and the heir apparent to David Wright.
