Unbelievable MLB 2025 Forecasts: Will Pete Alonso Defy History and Riley Greene Dethrone Aaron Judge?
What’s most compelling about Alonso’s sensational start to the year is that the gaudy surface-level stats are fully supported by a vast improvement in his underlying metrics. Alonso has always hit the ball exceptionally hard, but now he’s making markedly more contact, with career-low whiff (21.6%) and strikeout (17.2%) rates while walking at a career-best 15.4% clip. With elite power already in place, this uptick in on-base ability has enabled a huge spike in his overall production, which has Alonso in the thick of the NL MVP race — no small feat considering he has Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto as teammates.
