3 years agoNew York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso drove in two runs in the Mets' 10-3 win over the Diamondbacks in the Mets' home opener on Friday. Both RBI came courtesy of sacrifice flies as Alonso went 0-for-1 at the plate with a walk, despite five plate appearances on the afternoon. Alonso is slashing .258/.324/.548 with two homers and 12 RBI on the young season and is poised to have a big year. Alonso should see positive regression in power totals from 2021 and should likely break the 40 HR mark and eclipse the 100 RBI plateau due to the addition of outfielders Starling Marte and Mark Canha to the Mets. A likely bounce-back campaign from shortstop Francisco Lindor, which appears to have already started, should also help Alonso to bolster his counting stats.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
