Mets' Pete Alonso to make Opening Day roster
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso will make the Opening Day roster, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network.
The Mets were expected to hold Alonso in the minors a few weeks to delay his free agency by a year, but he's made that difficult this spring by slashing .352/.386/.648 with 4 home runs across 57 plate appearances. He may start the season in a utility role.
numberFire's models expect Alonso to hit .241 across 460 plate appearances with 22 taters, 64 RBI, 55 runs scored, and 2 steals this season.
