New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso says he has envisioned being a "lifelong Met" as he enters the last year of club control.

Alonso has been one of the sport's most prolific power hitters over the past five seasons. He was the 2019 NL Rookie of the Year after leading the major leagues with 53 homers. He had 37 homers in 2021, 40 in 2022 and 46 in 2023, though his average fell to a career-low .216 last year.
