Pete Alonso

In the top of the first inning in the NL East Division matchup between the New York Mets and the Miami Marlins, Pete Alonso connected for a two-run home run. The “Polar Bear” drove a 98-mph fastball, delivered from Edward Cabrera, and sent it 425 feet with an exit velocity of 106.2 mph over the left-center field wall at loanDepot Park. With this blast, Alonso became the second fastest player in MLB history to reach 100 career home runs. Pete reached the one century mark in 347 games, just short of Ryan Howard’s record of 325 games.
