Since debuting in 2019, Alonso has taken the league by storm — most notably during his rookie campaign, when he broke Aaron Judge’s single-season rookie home run record with 53. Now, 197 home runs later, Alonso has reached another major milestone at just 30 years old.

Pete Alonso is one step closer to Darryl Strawberry ’s Mets home run record. Alonso opened the scoring in Saturday afternoon's victory over the Giants by crushing a 1-2 fastball from right-hander Kai-Wei Teng for a no-doubt three-run shot. The blast left the bat at a whopping 109.4 mph and carried 428 feet to left-center.
