NEW YORK – The Mets’ first baseman, Pete Alonso, is one of the best hitters in the majors. In fact, he hit home runs on Sunday against the Giants who are third in the Major Leagues with 24 home runs and first on the team with 55 RBI.

Those numbers earned Alonso an invitation to the National League’s All-Star Game, which will take place on July 11 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. This will be Alonso’s third time participating in the Mid-Season Classic.

“This is amazing. A great honor. I’m excited to be representing the Mets in Seattle,” Alonso said.

Shortly after New York manager Buck Showalter broke the news to Alonso about his call-up, Alonso announced during Sunday’s game on ESPN that he would be participating in the Home Run Festival in pursuit of his third crown in the competition.

This will be Alonso’s fourth home run derby in his five years at Big Top, as he won the competition in 2019 and 2021. Alonso also has a chance to join Ken Griffey Jr. in the running. As the only one to win three Home Run titles. .
