Since debuting for the Mets in 2019, a year in which he set the all-time rookie home run record, earned Rookie of the Year honors, finished seventh in NL MVP voting, and was named a National League All-Star, Pete Alonso has been a star for the Mets, and the most consistent offensive force in their lineup. Nothing changed in 2022, as he hit a lot of majestic home runs, drove in a ton of runs, and generally brought good vibes to a team that had its most successful regular season in 16 years.
Alonso, who already owns the Mets’ record for home runs in a single season with 53, found himself setting another franchise high water mark for the Mets.
