How do you top a record-breaking rookie season?

Not necessarily by breaking more records.

In preparing for his sophomore season, reigning National League Rookie of the Year Pete Alonso said at the Mets’ FanFest Saturday that he’s prioritizing the sublimeness of his complete play over the ridiculousness of his home run distances and exit velocity.

“I want to be as dynamic as possible,” said Alonso, who set the big league rookie record last year by going deep 53 times. “Obviously, I had a good offensive year, but who knows? If I can have more plate discipline, who knows that will translate?

“My goal is to capitalize on every single pitch that’s given. If it’s a hittable, drivable pitch, I want to capitalize. If I take a controlled, aggressive swing and have a good approach and have a good plan, that’s all I can do. If I square it up, I square it up. If I don’t, then on to the next pitch.”

The perennially animated Alonso continued, “I just want to win. I think preparation and hard work is going to translate to success. I can’t think about my stat line. I’m thinking about how to beat [Washington’s] Max Scherzer. I’m thinking about how to beat [Philadelphia’s] Aaron Nola and other aces. This is going to be a tough division, and I’ve got to bring my ‘A’ game every single day. Hopefully just thinking about the day-to-day process, that will translate to good stats at the end of the year.”

There is another tough opponent he likely will be facing often: His old teammate, Zack Wheeler, who left for the rival Phillies.

“It’s going to be a hell of a battle, because he’s watched me play and I’ve watched him pitch,” Alonso said. “It’s one of those, who’s got the better game plan? Who gets lucky that day? It’s a constant battle. He’s a hell of a pitcher. Very, very talented. He’s got electric stuff. We’re going to face him a lot. It’ll be interesting, what’s going to happen. It’s going to be a hell of a battle.”
