New York Mets should keep Peter Alonso off their Opening Day roster

In 2018, the New York Mets’ number two prospect, Peter Alonso, hit 36 home runs and 119 RBIs in only 132 games split between Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Las Vegas, leading the minor leagues in both categories.

He boasts some seriously impressive big league power, exemplified by a double in the Arizona Fall League on October 24, 2018 that registered an exit velocity of 116.3 MPH according to Statcast.

That’s the highest exit velocity any player in the Mets organization has managed since the inception of Statcast in 2015.
