Pete Alonso arrived in Baltimore with a reputation as one of baseball's premier power hitters. As the regular season enters its final stretch, the Orioles slugger is making a compelling case that 2026 may be the finest offensive campaign of his career. Alonso continued his torrid September on Friday, launching two home runs in Baltimore's 10-2 victory over the Yankees in the opener of a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. The performance pushed his season total to an American League-leading 43 home runs while strengthening his hold on the league RBI crown with 113.
