There are lots of ways to describe Mets first baseman, Pete Alonso. One is that he’s perpetually positive. But he may be onto something as New York prepares for the 2023 season.
How positive is Alonso? Even when the Mets were in the midst of that horrific second-half tailspin out of first place in 2021, he continually made statements about how the club was going to turn it around and get to the playoffs.
Obviously, that didn’t happen. In a game of failure like baseball, though, it’s important to have confidence in yourself and your teammates.
