Pete Alonso, a standout player for the New York Mets, expressed confidence in the team despite their loss in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 MLB Playoffs.
Despite challenges and ongoing speculation about his future, Alonso remains focused on the present and helping the Mets advance in the MLB postseason. His recent home run against the Milwaukee Brewers in the Wild Card Series demonstrated his ability to lead the team in crucial moments.
Alonso has been a key piece for the Mets this season. His offensive power and leadership have been essential to the team’s success. Despite his recent struggles in the NLCS, Alonso remains a vital figure and is expected to contribute significantly in the upcoming games.
“I believe in this group,” the All-Star first baseman told the media, per SNY. “This group has responded so well to adversity all year. The character of this team – the one word I can think of for the 2024 Mets other than Grimace is resiliency. That’s just who we are.”
