Pete Alonso 2026 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Steady Power Production Despite Move to Baltimore
Pete Alonso enjoyed a classic Alonso season in 2025, slashing .272/.347/.524 with 38 homers across 709 plate appearances. The performance earned the 31-year-old slugger a $155 million contract from the Baltimore Orioles, and some may be nervous about how the Polar Bear will play in Baltimore. Don't be. Per Statcast, Alonso would've hit 45 homers last season had he played every game in Camden Yards against 36 if his entire schedule was at Citi Field. Baltimore also has a much higher 1B factor for right-handed batters (104) than the Mets home park (93), potentially boosting Alonso's average. The career .253 hitter probably won't hit .272 again after posting a .305 BABIP (.270 career), especially since his 20.2 LD% should regress toward his career rate of 18 percent. A repeat of his 126 RBI is also a lot to ask for. Still, Alonso should make his annual run at 40+ homers and 100+ RBI while hitting in the middle of Baltimore's batting order, making him a safe power-focused pick at his 27.63 ADP. He's a modern-day iron man who can be trusted to compile all counting stats save stolen bases.
