Alonso, rated number four in the Mets’ top-30 prospects list by MLB Pipeline, is getting a second look at Class AA. He turned 23 in December and has a bat-first profile, thanks to his plus raw power.
Originally selected as the Mets’ 2nd-round pick in 2016, Alonso made some adjustments at the plate during his three-year career at the University of Florida. A shorter swing has proven effective in allowing Alonso to tap into his power to the greatest degree.
Slashing a combined .289/.359/.524 between Class A-Advanced and Class AA in 2017, Alonso has been successful in keeping his strikeouts down assignment by assignment. While his swing still runs long at times, the adaptation on an as-needed basis is there, and Alonso shows good situational awareness.
At the plate, Alonso uses a quiet stance to sit back slightly and leverage his upper body strength with a smooth one-piece stroke that will rope the ball to all fields. Beginning his second campaign with Binghamton, Alonso has been on a tear, hitting in nine of 10 appearances and flashing plenty of extra-base power.
Defensively, while he’s fairly adaptable overall, Alonso still struggles to know his identity at the first base corner, looking slightly lost at times and somewhat uncomfortable.
While his hit tool sells itself just fine, his defense should pick up, but he needs to settle in at the corner in order to maximize the his opportunity to advance. We could see Alonso move closer to Class AAA before the end of the year, but his defense needs polish before that movement should happen.
It seems that he profiles as quality major league first basemen.

RH 1b rarely if ever get any love and one that had 18 errors in half a season of games is going to get dinged for that as well.
If he were a catcher or 3B..
