The biggest change in Alonso's hitting is his on-base ability. The rookie home run leader and two-time Home Run Derby winner isn't known to get on base a lot, but is slashing .320

Francisco Lindor’s three-run homer was the needed jolt in a 5-4 victory at Chase Field that ended the Mets’ two-game skid.

As the Mets approach the one-quarter mark of the season — which they will hit this weekend at home against the Cubs — Alonso leads the team by a lot in average (.349) and OPS (1.143), among other categories. His on-pace-for numbers remain gaudy. If he keeps this up, he’ll finish with 41 home runs and 149 RBIs.
