Alonso behind fictional coach
By MIKE PUMA and JOEL SHERMAN
Donnie Stevenson and Pete Alonso are one and the same.

The Mets first baseman wore a hat and sunglasses to the hitters’ meeting before the team faced Zack Wheeler on May 1, according to the source. As Donnie Stevenson, Alonso preached the need for the Mets to stick with their strengths as a lineup.
