Pete Alonso powers up, Mets fall shortApril 28, 2024 | 05:15 AM

Pete Alonso went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Mets' 7-4 loss to the Cardinals. Writer's Analysis: His two-run blast added to his season tally but wasn't enough to secure a win for New York. Alonso's power continues to be a bright spot in an otherwise middling season, as he now boasts eight homers. However, his .252 batting average and high strikeout rate (22 Ks in 103 ABs) might raise concerns for fantasy managers relying on him for more than just long balls. His current .357 wOBA indicates solid production, but the low .247 BABIP suggests some bad luck, possibly hinting at better days ahead if his fortunes even out.
