Don't look at now, but Brett Baty puts up another strong performance during the spring training.

The third Baseman of the New York Mets – once a top view in the hot corner, which would hold the position for years – could not produce hot routes in the minor and during the exhibition rod in the majors.

The 25-year-old beats 544 mLB bats in three seasons.

Again, Baty shows the kind of promise that holds it in the periphery of the big club in the area, even if the only way for him in 2025 is to make it as a care information. On Tuesday against the Houston Astros, the left bat went 2: 3 and hit his first Homerun of spring, pulling a slider in the zone over the right field fence.

He started the exhibition slate 5: 8 with an ops of 1.750.

Brett Baty things! 💣

“There is a lot to like from board at the moment,” said Mets Manager Carlos Mendoza. “It starts with the rhythm on the plate, its new setup. The rhythm allows him to be on time. He swings with strikes, which are some of the other things we ask him. He is a guy who can control the strike zone, and if he gets pitches, he does not miss. He stays behind the baseball, which is another goal for him … and puts the barrel on the ball. He gets results. “

When Baty can finally put together it in 2025, it presents the Mets as much as possible. While Mendoza said that he would mostly play the third basis, possibly as a backup of VISTOS, he will also see the second basis to increase its versatility. A hot bat also also plays into the DH equation, which is currently being divided between Jesse Winker and Starling Marte.

This seems to be Baty's last chance to cut it with the Mets when Mendoza played on the first spring training.

“Yes, pretty much [this is his last chance]«, Said Mendoza. “This is a guy who is ready to do everything to do the young animal. He was loud about it … Now he just has to go out there and take part in competitions and do it and be himself. He is a really good player. There are tools and a lot to like on board Baty. He just has to be himself, go out there and do it. Let the rest take care of yourself. “
