Pete Alonso Remains a Bankable Power Threat Entering His First Season in Baltimore
After spending the first seven seasons of his MLB career with the New York Mets, power-hitting first baseman Pete Alonso signed a five-year contract this past winter with the Baltimore Orioles. The 31-year-old slugger has long been one of the most reliable sluggers in baseball, recording at least 34 home runs in every year of his career outside of the shortened 2020 season. Alonso has also been exceptionally durable throughout his time in the big leagues, recording at least 630 plate appearances in five consecutive campaigns. Across 709 trips to the plate with the Mets in 2025, Alonso slashed .272/.347/.524 with 38 home runs, 126 RBI, 87 runs scored, and one stolen base. Alonso has experienced fluctuations in his batting average over the course of his career, hitting .240 in 2024 and .217 in 2023. Still, he's kept his strikeout rate under 25% in five consecutive seasons and might be the most bankable source of power and run production in all of fantasy baseball. Alonso profiles as an elite first base option for fantasy managers heading into 2026.
