Rookie Pete Alonso’s 53rd Home Run Ball
Date: September 28, 2019
Pete Alonso may be a power hitter, but he can also work the count. On September 28, 2019, he took a pitch thrown by Atlanta Braves hurler Mike Foltynewicz for a ball in the 1st inning. During his next at-bat, Alonso took Foltynewicz deep for his record-breaking 53rd home run of the season.
