Pete Alonso has racked up six home runs and 18 RBIs through the New York Mets' first eight games this month, slotting the All-Star slugger into an exclusive club in the MLB history books.

Alonso listens to an array of voices and it shows in his approach: "The lens that he is viewing the game through right now is high quality."

He then slashed .240/.329/.459 with a .788 OPS, 34 homers and 88 RBI over 162 regular-season games before he reached free agency last year.
