Part 7/12:
Power-Hitter: He's a consistent home run machine, with close to 20 homers and a high-quality contact rate. His exit velocities and launch angles make him a formidable presence in the middle of the lineup.
Durability: Alonso is known for his durability and ability to produce season after season.
Defensive Limitations: He's not a great defender, with poor defensive metrics at first base; however, his offensive upside more than compensates.
Career Trajectory & Fit with the Yankees:
His recent performance shows he's in his prime and capable of leading the Yankees' power surge.
Garcia suggests that Alonso's lack of a qualifying offer this year makes him more accessible financially.
