\n Convincing the Mets\u2019 premier slugger to stop focusing on home runs is Chili Davis\u2019 great challenge.<\/p>\n

Over the last few days, the Mets hitting coach would like to believe Pete Alonso got the message.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Pete was pressing a little bit, but I think the last couple of game<\/a>s Pete played, that was more Pete,\u201d Davis told The Post in a phone conversation. \u201cHe\u2019s coming back. I think he will be fine. I liked his last couple of games. We have got to get the homers out of his head. He\u2019s just got to hit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alonso entered Saturday with only one homer \u2014 after blasting a MLB rookie record 53 last season \u2014 but more disconcerting was that he is hitting .204\/.348\/.278 as play began Saturday.<\/p>\n

Friday he just missed a homer against the Marlins, taking a double, and finished with a 2-for-4 performance, maybe a sign he is about to break out. Davis warned Alonso before the season he would get pitched differently this year, and has seen it come to fruition.<\/p>\n

\u201cPitchers are going to tease you when you\u2019re that dangerous,\u201d Davis said. \u201cThey are going to tease you to see if they can get you to leave your zone. The only way the league can ever figure you out is they are going to have to go outside your zone. They are never going to figure out a hitter pitching in his zone, and if you don\u2019t leave your zone, then they are going to come at you. I just want to keep him aggressive with a statement there, keep him not passive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 60-year-old Davis, who is working remotely, at home in Arizona \u2014 a preexisting health condition classifies him as high risk if he were to contract coronavirus \u2014 has seen plenty of positives from the lineup, despite the fact it has struggled to score runs. At the root of those troubles was the MLB high 8.79 runners left on base the Mets were averaging as they began play.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to look at the positives, and I talked to the guys about that,\u201d Davis said. \u201cThey are constantly creating scoring opportunities and that\u2019s not the easy part, that is the hard part to create them, and they are starting to capitalize on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The abbreviated schedule, Davis said, doesn\u2019t help the psyche of a team struggling to score runs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this whole 60-game season is challenging,\u201d Davis said. \u201cSometimes I think it kind of forces a sense of urgency on these young players. In a normal 162-game schedule if a guy starts off slow he\u2019s not really worried about it. He figures he\u2019s got the season to build on, but in a 60-game season you start off slow for eight, 10 games, you find yourself pressing for no reason at all. You have just got to play the season, play it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis mentioned the at-bats he\u2019s seen from rookie Andres Gimenez and the manner in which Robinson Cano was swinging before he went on the injured list as two of the early positives.<\/p>\n

Much of Davis\u2019 interaction with players is through Zoom chats, which he says has been an adjustment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s different not having that personal interaction like we would at the ballpark,\u201d Davis said. \u201cBut a lot of things are different. Even if you are there, you are limited to how much work you can put in, with all the social<\/a> distancing. Everything is different.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything changes in life, but that is drastic. I am used to talking to guys, going in the locker room and sitting next to them and discussing things and hearing their thoughts.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
