Pete Alonso Is On a Mission to Rewrite Mets History

It almost looked like Pete Alonso and the Mets were going to part ways this offseason. Things got a little dramatic, with both sides making moves in the media, and fans were left wondering if their favorite slugger would stay or go. But thankfully, Pete signed a two-year, $54 million deal to stick around—just in time for Valentine’s Day, no less.

Now that he’s back, Alonso’s wasting no time reminding everyone why he’s such a big deal in Queens. He’s smashing homers, hitting for average, and leading the Mets in pretty much every major offensive stat. Through 12 games, he’s batting .333 with the team’s top numbers in hits, home runs, RBIs, total bases, on-base percentage, and slugging. He’s also barely striking out, which is rare in today’s game.

And yeah—he’s been clutch. His three-run bomb against the Marlins last week broke the team’s early-season slump and sparked a six-game winning streak. Safe to say, he’s the heartbeat of the team right now.

When it comes to Mets history, Pete’s climbing the charts fast. He’s already third on the team’s all-time home run list, behind only David Wright and Darryl Strawberry. If he stays healthy, there’s a good chance he’ll take the top spot before the summer’s over.

He’s also taken more hit-by-pitches than any other Met ever—86 times! Not the most fun record, but it shows how much he’s been in the mix.

As for RBIs, he’s sixth right now but could crack the top three really soon. His pace this year? Wild. If he keeps it up, he could even flirt with a 200-RBI season, which would be legendary.

In terms of WAR (Wins Above Replacement)—the stat nerds’ favorite metric—Pete’s 13th in team history, but he ranks even higher when you only look at offense.

Bottom line: if Pete sticks with the Mets long-term, he could go down as the best position player in franchise history. He’s already a fan favorite, he’s performing at an elite level, and the vibes around him are as good as ever. Mets fans better buckle up—this could be one hell of a season.
