He bats and throws right-handed, and is 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and weighs 187 pounds (85 kg). Alfonzo has worn the number 13 since his Major League debut, however switched to the number 12 in March 2005 giving former teammate, and former San Francisco Giants shortstop, Omar Vizquel the number 13 to honor not only the longevity of Vizquel wearing the number, but also because the wearing the number 13 is a term of respect and honor to Alfonzo and Vizquel's fellow countryman Dave Concepción (all three from Venezuela). Alfonzo also wore the number 12 through some of his career with the New York Mets.
