New York Mets Prospect Profile: First Baseman Peter Alonso

Peter Alonso is the New York Mets second best prospect, baseball’s best first base prospect, and a player that Mets fans are itching to see in Queens. Many expected to see him join the Mets late last season, but his defensive woes scared the organization and he was left in AAA to improve in that area.

The 24-year-old stands at 6’3” and weighs 245 pounds. He played third base in high school and went on to play first base at the University of Florida. He was named All-Southeastern Conference his freshman year and played in the 2016 College World Series.
