Pete Alonso suffered an injury after getting hit by a pitch on his right hand, robbing the New York Mets of their top power hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Dodgers veteran James Paxton plunked Alonso with a 93 mile-per-hour fastball with one out in the top of the first. The pitch hit Alonso in the right hand, and it took him a while to shake it off.
Last season, Alonso led the National League with 21 hit-by-pitches. His 75 hit-by-pitches over the last six seasons rank fifth across MLB, and he is one of five Mets in the top 10 in that span. Maybe most notably, Alonso has appeared in the third-most games of any player since 2019 with 739. Only Marcus Semien and Freddie Freeman have played more.
