He’d be #1 on the list if not for the 60-game COVID season.

@StevenACohen2 to think Boy Genius had no interest in the home grown guy that is leading the American league in RBIs & second in HRs. 3rd in MLB in RBIs & 4th in HRs. Now that's a guy I wouldn't want on my team. That kind of whiff is 100% malpractice at his position of a talent evaluator!

Alonso & Judge have virtually the same number of career at bats (4,347 for Alonso 4,342 for Judge). Judge has 386 HRs to Alonso's 302 HRs.

Everyone has to remember the Covid short season 2020. Mets only played 57 games. Give Pete another 105 games and he owns this record

Pete also has the 4th most Ks through his first 8

Replying to @SlangsOnSports @Buster_ESPN
And don’t forget how many he lost during the Covid lockdowns. It was a shortened season. He’d already have passed them.

Alonso is sneakily better than people think! 💪

Still can’t figure him signing with the O’s. Such a loser franchise with little hope for playoff success.

Good individually for Pete. It’s the 1.5 WC separation that’s the important part.

The Mets didnt want to pay him over political beliefs and his clashing with Soto and Lindor.
