Two-time Home Run Derby champion Pete Alonso is looking to add a third title to his collection.

On the day he was selected to his fourth All-Star Game, Alonso announced on Sunday that he is planning to participate in this year’s Derby in Arlington, Texas. The Mets’ slugger won his first Derby as a rookie in 2019 in an epic final battle against Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in Cleveland. With no Derby in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Alonso won again in 2021 in Colorado with 23 home runs in the final round and 74 homers overall.

Alonso fell short in both 2022 and ‘23 but could put himself in a premier class by winning again this season. With another victory, Alonso would tie Ken Griffey Jr.’s record of three Derby titles (1994, ‘98 and ‘99) since the competition began in 1985.

The 29-year-old Alonso leads the Majors with 210 home runs since debuting in 2019 and has participated in every Derby during his time as a big leaguer. Alonso has a .789 OPS and 18 home runs for the Mets this season.
