Pete Alonso Homers, But Struggles Continue at the Plate
by Chase Davis | Mets Correspondent | Fri, Aug 30th 8:46am EDT
Pete Alonso went 1-for-4 in the Mets' narrow 3-2 victory over the Diamondbacks, contributing with a solo home run.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the home run, Alonso's season-long issues at the plate persist, as evidenced by his .244 batting average and high strikeout rate of 23.6%. His power numbers remain solid with 29 home runs and 74 RBI, but his overall production has been hampered by a low BABIP of .274, suggesting some bad luck but also potential room for improvement. Fantasy managers should temper expectations, recognizing that while he provides valuable power, his batting average and strikeout numbers could continue to drag down his overall value.
