PORT ST. LUCIE — Pete Alonso isn’t positive how a lot he can enhance from a bodily standpoint as a primary baseman, however he is aware of he can work smarter.
Upon reporting to camp this spring, the Mets slugger, who returned to the staff on a two-year contract value $54 million, spoke of his need to remove the miscalculations that led to errors final season.
To that finish, he plans to take a extra conservative strategy with throws.
“Realistically, the easy thing is to look at everything from last year, and footwork was good, glovework was good for the most part,” Alonso informed The Submit. “But honestly, I think that my throws, whether it’s forcing something that is not there or forcing the great play to happen, where probably it’s like a high-risk play, let’s take the ball instead of trying to force something.”
