In many ways, the slow start to Amed Rosario’s career as a Mets has made the 24-year old something of the forgotten man on a roster packed with heavy-hitting young talent. Indeed, his mysteriously delayed arrival to summer camp barely registered as a news story (thankfully, he did show up just a few days later, and in one piece no less).
The lack of a spotlight, and the lowering of expectations, may take some pressure off the former top prospect Rosario, who struggled mightily in his first year and a half as a major leaguer before finally putting up an average season in 2019.
