Last night at Fenway Park, Pete Alonso absolutely smoked a home run over the Green Monster as the Mets won their first of four games against the Red Sox this week. While he had struggled in the first series of the season against the Braves, it should come as no surprise that last year’s National League Rookie of the Year and the all-time record holder for rookie home runs hit his first one of this season.
This home run happened to also be one of the hardest Alonso has hit in his young major league career, with Statcast clocking it at 116.
