Mets 1B Peter Alonso named Eastern League Player of the Week

Mets 1B prospect Peter Alonso has started the season on fire for Double-A Binghamton.

The 23-year-old Alonso, who has homered in his last four games, hit .545/.667/.1.136 with one double, four HR, 8 RBI, and 8 walks last week.

"Alonso's plus raw power has long been his carrying tool," wrote Ben Badler for BA on Monday. "He hit well last year in the high Class A Florida State League, but he's showing signs of becoming an even more complete hitter in 2018. He's off to a scorching .403/.500/.778 start with seven home runs in 88 plate appearances.
