except for the special players like Acuna, Othani, Judge etc most players that put up 25 plus homers have high high strike outs and low averages.
But Alonso is hitting the homers over 40, hitting in RBI's over 100 and not many are near those number in the league and Alonso is been consistent with those types of numbers.
He is not a super star like some others and not putting up Olson, freeman numbers etc but he would be very very hard to replace his consistency and his production
For example
Most homers since 2018 190. 4th in all of MLB
Most RBI's since 2018 485. 11th in all of MLB.
most Runs since 2018 392. #31 in all of mlb
not bad for someone who is not hitting for average

As Alonso's Rookie season was 2019, if you look at numbers since when he was a Rookie, they are even more impressive:
#1 in Home Runs with 190 (2nd best is Olson with 174)
#1 in RBIs (666 to Olson's 650)
#9 in Slugging
#14 in OPS
#14 in Runs
