What a week for Pete Alonso.
Not only did the Mets’ slugger capture sole possession of second place on the franchise’s all-time home run list, but he’s now earned National League Player of the Week honors for his efforts.
Alonso was on a tear last week, slashing .400/.486/.967 with five home runs, 15 RBI, and nine runs scored, leading the Mets to a 5-2 record.
After a down year in 2024 by his own standards, Alonso has bounced back in a huge way in 2025, slashing .301/.396/.594 with 17 home runs, 61 RBI (leads the National League), and 20 doubles (tied for first in the National League).
In Sunday’s win over the Colorado Rockies, Alonso slammed career home runs No. 242 and 243, moving past David Wright for second on the Mets’ all-time list. Alonso is now just nine home runs behind Darryl Strawberry for the franchise’s all-time mark.
