Milwaukee – Pete Alonso hit his 252nd career circuit on Saturday evening, equaling the New York Mets record held by Darryl Strawberry for 37 years.
Alonso, 30, connected to the Brewers Starter of Milwaukee, Tobias Myers, to lead the second round for its 26th circuit this season, giving the food a 1-0 lead. The 413-foot shooting in the left center came on a quick ball 1-2 at the top of the striking area.
It was Alonso’s fourth circuit in eight games, because he went deep on August 1 against San Francisco to end a collapse of 0 for 19.
A local star written by the dishes in 2016, Alonso broke into the big leagues with a blow in 2019, reaching 53 circuits to establish a recruit of the major league and establish a franchise top for a single season.
The Quintuple All-Star has reached 40 two other times and was one of the most coherent sluggers in baseball since its arrival. After prolonged negotiation, he returned to the food as a free agent in February on a $ 54 million contract over two years which includes a player option of $ 24 million for 2026, which Alonon will probably decrease.
The only other active players who direct their current franchise in Home Runs are Manny Machado (Padres) and Mike Trout (Angels).
Giancarlo Stanton, now with New York Yankees, holds the Miami brand with 267 for the Marlins.
Strawberry broke the previous record record with its 155th Home Run on May 3, 1988, passing Dave Kingman. Strawberry succeeded 252 in 1,109 games for New York during his first eight seasons of major leagues from 1983 to 1990. He then played for Dodgers, Giants and Yankees, ending his 17 -year career with 335 circuits.
Alonso played his 963rd match on Saturday evening. The first sustainable basic player appeared in 370 consecutive, a team record.
The Diamondbacks and the Padres are the solitary clubs of the major leagues which did not have a player struck more than 252 circuits for them. Luis Gonzalez holds the Arizona record with 224, and Machado entered on Saturday with 187 for San Diego.
