NextImg:Pete Alonso named lone Mets All-Star Game representative in surprising nod

PITTSBURGH — The Mets have a re-Pete heading to the All-Star game.

In a surprise selection, Pete Alonso was named to the National League All-Star team Sunday as the Mets’ lone representative.

Alonso was selected as a reserve at first base behind starter Bryce Harper.

“I’m truly blessed,” Alonso said after the Mets beat the Pirates 3-2 at PNC Park.

The All-Star selection was Alonso’s third straight and fourth in five seasons the game has been played.

The game was canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic and Alonso was omitted from the All-Star team the following year.

Alonso on Friday told The Post he would only consider participating in the Home Run Derby if he was selected to the All-Star Game.

He was asked on Sunday if he will now commit to the competition.

“You guys will see,” Alonso said.

Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor were among the Mets bypassed, but both can still be selected as replacements as needed.

Alonso owns a .243/.325/.464 slash line with 18 homers and 48 RBIs and has ranked behind first basemen such as Freddie Freeman and Christian Walker offensively in the NL.
