Pete Alonso is going to have to pick up the pace if he is to become the Home Run King. Earlier in the season he as on pace to hit 80, but with 9 HRs in 20 games he is on pace to his 72.9 – and since you can’t hit .9 of a home run, that’s “only” 72.
Hopefully a combination of warmer weather, MLB marketing, and magic baseballs will help Pete pick up the pace so he can back to The Chase For 80.
Combined with Pete’s .286 average and his 153.9 RBI pace, I think it’s safe to say Pete could win the MVP this season.
