Ranking Every MLB Team's Starting First Baseman for the 2024 Season | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
Slugger Pete Alonso leads the majors with 192 home runs over the past five seasons, dating back to crushing a rookie record 53 home runs in 2019 when he won NL Rookie of the Year honors.
He posted a 122 OPS+ with 46 home runs and 118 RBI last season, but also hit just .217 with a .318 on-base percentage in a down year by his standards, and now he enters a contract year looking to prove he belongs in the same financial tier as Freddie Freeman (six years, $162 million) and Matt Olson (eight years, $168 million).
