Breakout rookie Pete Alonso is the Mets’ leader in RBIs through practically a quarter of the season, but the man right behind him in that category might be even more of a pleasant surprise.
Amed Rosario’s defense has been shaky this season, but the third-year shortstop has emerged as a productive offensive contributor wherever he’s been used in Mickey Callaway’s lineup, with 24 RBIs and a team-best .359 batting average with runners in scoring position through the Mets’ first 39 games.
“Oh yeah, he’s been swinging the bat really well,” Callaway said after Sunday’s game against Miami was rained out.
