Though the Mets’ playoff hopes were officially squashed Wednesday night, as the Brewers defeated the Reds to clinch the final NL wild-card spot, rookie standout Pete Alonso’s hopes of surpassing another MLB record are still alive and well.

A two-out, three-run homer in the second inning from the 24-year-old first baseman pulled him within one of Aaron Judge’s record of 52 home runs by a rookie, which he set with the Yankees in 2017. And with four games left in the season following the Mets’ 10-3 victory over the Marlins at Citi Field, there’s a strong possibility Alonso could claim the record as his own.

Alonso, who currently leads the league with 51 home runs, is a front-runner for the National League Rookie of the Year award after destroying several Mets rookie and team records this season. Earning an All-Star bid and winning the Home Run Derby were just some accomplishments in Alonso’s highlight reel of a season that will end without a playoff berth.

“When we finally put it together for 162 [games], we’re gonna be scary,’’ Alonso said after the loss.

Despite a six-game hitless streak this month, Alonso has posted 17 RBIs and nine homers in 87 plate appearances so far in September.

Manager Mickey Callaway considers Alonso to be the next David Wright of the Mets organization and believes he deserves some MVP consideration as well. He has been the Mets’ spark plug during their roller-coaster season.
