Before first baseman Pete Alonso emerged as the most valuable player for a New York Mets team that entered Tuesday with the best record in the National League (42-24), he endured plenty of lows across the previous two seasons.

On Tuesday, more historic Alonso news emerged. In his eight games this month, Alonso has posted 18 RBIs, six home runs and two hit by pitches. Only two other players in the live-ball era—Jeff Bagwell (August 2000) and Reggie Jackson (June 1969)—have matched that level of production over any eight-game span.

Pete Alonso has racked up 6 HRs and 18 RBIs through the Mets' first 8 games this month, slotting the slugger into an exclusive club in the MLB history books.

Alonso listens to an array of voices and it shows in his approach: "The lens that he is viewing the game through right now is high quality."

MLB player prop bets and odds for Peter Morgan Alonso on Friday, May 23, 2025, as the New York Mets take on the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The results are hard to miss. Alonso is slashing .301/.396/.594 with 17 home runs and an MLB-leading 61 RBIs, and his batting average, on-base and slugging would all be career highs if he stays where he is. Through 66 games, that puts him on pace for 41 homers and 149 RBIs.
