Pipeline names Mets` Prospects of the Year
(MLB.com New York Mets)

In many ways, the saga surrounding the Mets` decision to keep Peter Alonso in the Minors all year overshadowed the rather spectacular nature of his season itself. In 132 games, Alonso hit 36 home runs, including a walk-off on the final pitch of the Triple-A Las Vegas season. He knocked in 119 runs. He posted a .975 OPS. He submitted, statistically speaking, the best offensive season of any first-base prospect in the country. For that reason, Alonso was named MLB Pipeline`s Mets Hitting Prospect of the Year.
