After a lengthy contract dispute with the Mets, Alonso ended up signing a two-year deal worth $54 million with an opt-out. His performance this season and Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s recent 14-year, $500 million extension couldn’t be coinciding at a better time for the slugger.

The New York Mets completed a sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Winners of four straight games, New York sits atop the National League East with a 15-7 record. One of the biggest reasons for this has been star first baseman Pete Alonso.

Alonso is on the verge of breaking several team records for the opening month, including several marks he already owns.
