Mets' Pete Alonso Takes A 97 MPH Fastball To The Wrist, Exits Game In Total Pain

The Polar Bear's gonna need plenty of ice. New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso did not finish Wednesday's Game 2 against the Atlanta Braves. Alonso took a mean 97 mph fastball to the left arm from Braves pitcher Charlie Morton.

The 28-year-old hit the deck but quickly got up. Alonso thought about walking to first but stopped to speak before manager Buck Showalter before exiting the game.

Morton's fastball made direct contact with Pete Alonso's left wrist, despite him wearing gear on the arm. The ball snuck in between Alonso's glove and arm pad. An audible thwack was heard during the broadcast.

The audience at Truist Park gave mixed reactions to the painful hit — a day after Alonso taunted Braves ace Bryce Elder after a home run. There was no indication that the pitch was intentional by Morton ... just a coincidence.

Alonso holds the MLB lead for dingers this season with 22 home runs.
