Pete Alonso

Peter Morgan Alonso (born December 7, 1994), nicknamed "Polar Bear", is an American professional baseball first baseman for the Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the New York Mets. Internationally, Alonso represents the United States. Alonso played college baseball for the Florida Gators before the Mets selected him in the 2016 MLB draft. He made his MLB debut on Opening Day in 2019 and won the National League Rookie of the Year Award that year, setting a major league record for rookies with 53 home runs. Alonso is a five-time MLB All-Star who led the league in home runs in 2019 and in runs batted in in 2022, and is the Mets' all-time franchise leader in home runs. He has also won the MLB Home Run Derby twice, in 2019 and 2021.
