Why Pete Alonso is going to be the best player in the MLB in the next few years

Pete Alonso is the New York Mets starting first baseman.  He is by far the best offensive player on the Mets, and might even be the best player on the team.  We are only about halfway through the season maybe a little over and he has these crazy stats, and don’t forget he is a rookie!  Pete Alonso has 30 home runs, 69 RBI’s, 92 hits, and somehow still keeping a batting average of .275.  On top of that, he also won the whole home run derby, and he was against three and some four-year veterans.  But he still somehow managed to pull it off.  Sometimes there are these special players that enter a sport and you can tell from their first year that they are going to be a once in a decade time player.  In my opinion, Pete Alonso is that player.  He is almost exactly built like Mike Trout.  Pete Alonso is strong, big, makes big plays when you need them, and fast.  Mike Trout has all of those abilities too.  the crazy thing is though he is a rookie and already this good.  For some people the game of baseball means making millions of dollars and then retiring, but for Pete Alonso it is life.  For proof you can see in the way he swings his bat and cares so much about the games.  So what can we expect from Pete Alonso in the years to come?
