Pistol Pete Alonso has provided fans with a sneak peek at his prodigious power and productive patience since he arrived in the organization. This power will be a welcome sight in Queens as the New York Mets struggled to put the ball over the fence in 2018.
The Mets hit just 170 home runs (1.05 per game) in 2018 after walloping 224 (1.38 per game) in 2017. Much of that was due to injuries to key sluggers such as Yoenis Cespedes and Jay Bruce as well as free agents that got away.
