Pete Alonso hit his 109th career home run on Sunday vs. Arizona and yet, he’s really not that good at baseball.
Alonso is toed for fourth in the NL with 14 RBI…He is batting .217 (10-46) with eight runs three doubles, three home runs, 14 RBI, two walks, a .478 SLG and a .761 OPS in 12 games this year…He is batting .353 (6-17) with six runs, two doubles, three homes, 11 RBI with a 1.389 OPS in four games as a designated hitter this year.
Francisco Lindor has reached base safely in all 12 games this year…He is batting .310 (13-42) with 10 runs, four doubles, three home runs, nine RBI, nine walks, a .442 OBP, a .619 SLG with a 1.061 OPS…He ranks sixth in the Senior Circuit in OBP and OPS and eighth in SLG. However, now that Baez is gone, Lindor is the Most Despicable Met so he can rot.
