The 2020 season was rough for Pete Alonso. Expect the New York Mets first baseman to rebound next year.

Pete Alonso exceeded all expectations the New York Mets could have possibly had for him in his rookie campaign. He hit 53 home runs, leading the league and breaking the Mets single-season record. This total also broke the record for most home runs for a rookie.
