Entering the week, New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso was riding a hot stretch at the plate.

Over seven games against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies, he slashed 12-for-30 (.400) with 15 RBIs, five home runs and a 1.452 OPS.

That torrid pace, spread across a mix of night games under the bright lights of Dodger Stadium and the thin air of Coors Field, was the catalyst for his NL Player of the Week honor.

On Monday, the Mets took to Instagram to congratulate Alonso on the award, saying, "Congrats to Pete Alonso on being named the NL Player of the Week! ‍❄️"

Fans online were quick to show their love for Alonso.

"Best signing in the offseason by any team," said one user.

"Pete is a beast!! Please finish your career as a Met Pete!" another fan replied.

"We need Pete on Repeat!! Please don’t let him go elsewhere after this season.," commented one other user.

"EXTEND HIM," another fan emphatically responded.

"MVPete," one other user followed up with.

"Steve and Dave, please do the right thing this off-season. Let’s go Mets," another commenter replied.

On June 3 against the Dodgers, Alonso ripped an RBI double off Clayton Kershaw in the fifth inning to tie the game at 4, igniting a late rally in a tightly contested matchup.

The following day, he followed up with a two-run homer in the first and a three-run shot in the eighth, accounting for all five of his RBIs in a 6-1 victory.

Then, on Sunday vs the Rockies, Alonso launched a two-run homer, not only extending his hot streak but tying him with David Wright in second place on the Mets’ all-time home run list.
