Okay, so I saw this article title floating around – “Pete Alonso Could Be a Good Fit for the Mets” – and it got me thinking. I’m a huge Mets fan, always have been, so I figured I’d dig into this a little and see if it made sense. It’s not like I’m a professional scout or anything, but I love playing around with stats and seeing what I can find.
My Deep Dive into Pete Alonso and the Mets
First, I pulled up Pete Alonso’s stats. I mean, the guy can hit. He has proven it.
I wanted to get a good sense of his overall performance, not just the home runs, so I looked at everything. You know, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging… the whole nine yards.
Next, I started thinking about the Mets’ current lineup. I looked at their needs. Where are the holes? What kind of player could really make a difference? It is good to think about the team, right?
- Considered how Alonso’s right-handed power bat would fit into the lineup.
- Thought about other potential options for the Mets.
- Checked on salary things.
After that, it was comparison time. I started looking at other potential first basemen the Mets might be able to get. I mean, are there other free agents out there? What about trade possibilities? I needed to see how Alonso stacked up against the alternatives.
Finally, I formed my own opinion. Based on everything I’d looked at, did I think Pete Alonso would be a good fit for the Mets? I won’t give away my conclusion here, but let’s just say it was fun exercise to think about it!
