Mets star Pete Alonso wins the Home Run Derby

Pete Alonso is king of the Home Run Derby.

The wunderkind Mets first baseman beat Blue Jays rookie Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 23-22 in the final at Progressive Field in Cleveland during the MLB All-Star Game festivities Monday night.

He used last-second at-bats to take down Indians’ hometown hero Carlos Santana, 13-12, and Ronald Acuña Jr., 20-19 in the first two rounds.

Alonso arrived at the derby with 30 home runs — joining Aaron Judge (30 in 2017) and Mark McGwire (33 in 1987) as the only rookies to reach the 30-home run plateau at the MLB All-Star break.
