There are different ways to let out frustration. Mets baseman Pete Alonso certainly chose a strange way of doing so. Alonso made his debut in the Major Leagues in 2019. In the very same year, he broke the MLB record of most home runs by a rookie. He hit 53 home runs that year, thereby breaking Yankees’ Aaron Judge’s record of 52 homers.

However, recently Alonso’s play has been plummeting, and his frustration over the same can be seen clearly on the field.
Pete Alonso took his frustration out on his bat
Pete’s recent descent has him now on 0-4. Last night the New York Mets fought against the LA Dodgers and lost the game by 3-4. In the seventh inning, Alonso got a flyout.

While walking off the ground, he broke his bat over his knee out of frustration.
Alonso is a bright player having a tough time in the game. And he is pretty frustrated over it as well. Considering that yesterday’s burst out was the second time in a week that Pete broke his bat. A week ago, during a game with the Yankees, he got a strike out on Frankie Montas’ fastball. And that resulted in him breaking his bat over the knee out of frustration.
Fans of his game are in his support, whereas some want him to keep it together.
What are fans saying about Alonso and his frenzy of rage?
Some fans want him to show more maturity and act his age.
How about he just hits the ball better and not like he’s 10

He needs to get it together. Don’t know what he changed but go back to whatever was working before.

Another one does not want him setting bad examples for the kids.
I really wish Pete wouldn't do this. It sets a very poor example for young kids who idolize him.

One of them thinks he just wants attention.

He is always seeking attention. He tries too hard to be the hero. Play for a hit, take a pitch. He is swinging from his toes lately. He better get it together. Asap

Whatever the Polar Bear is going through, Mets fans want him to try and get out of it and play just like he used to.
