New York Mets 1B Pete Alonso snaps back at Twitter troll

On Wednesday, New York Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom won this year’s National League Cy Young Award. It’s deGrom’s second consecutive Cy Young after finishing 11-8 this past season with an ERA of 2.43 and a WHIP of 0.971.

After the league announced the news, Mets first baseman Pete Alonso took to Twitter to congratulate his teammate. Alonso won the National League Rookie of the Year Award earlier in the week.

After commending him, a troll responded to Alonso’s tweet with, “Lose weight fatass.” That individual acting tough behind a keyboard is now most likely regretting what he said.
