That Complete Animal Pete Alonso Just Hit His 50th Homer

This MLB season has featured all sorts of homer-related hijinks, on both an individual and team level.

However, one dude's put up numbers so filthy that they demand our attention even in this anomaly of a year.

And he's a damn rookie at that.

Pete Alonso of the New York Mets launched his 50th bomb of the 2019 season, a threshold not reached all that much anymore.

 

Let's all enjoy some signature Pete together:

 

Based on the location of that pitch, dude had no business hitting the ball that far,

And opposite field, no less.

The Reds were just as confused.

 

Have a listen to the blunt force trauma he put on that baseball:

 

The bat flip was also a nice touch.

As the graphic in the first clip indicated, the Yankees' Aaron Judge is the only other rookie to ever get halfway to a hundred with his 52 in 2017.

We're thinking Alonso just might catch him.

 

Like we said.

Animal.
