Alonso, who was named a preseason All-American by ESPNHS and Perfect Game, led all public school hitters with a .485 average and also had 24 RBIs, 11 doubles, six home runs and a .912 slugging percentage.

Additionally, he is a two-time first-team all-county selection and was invited to June's USA Baseball Tournament of Stars, the first step in the selection process for the 18-and-under national team.
