To this point, New York Mets‘ 2019 hero Pete Alonso isn’t having a particularly good 2020. After slashing .260/.358/.583 last season, he is down to .209/.323/.410 and has also had some defensive lapses. He is yet to get into a rhythm at the plate, and the Mets have suffered because of that.
Alonso, the New York Mets’ and MLB’s rookie of the year in 2019, was 0-for-4 before his last turn of the night on Thursday. He was 1-for-his last 19, and in a 4-for-42 slump. Those are ugly numbers.
But for one at-bat, the magic returned.
