Amed Rosario provides elite defense and hope for the future

Like most of 2017 for the Mets, Amed Rosario didn’t exactly have the rookie season he, the Mets, nor the fanbase, hoped he would have. Due to some nagging injuries and the transition to the big leagues, Rosario at times didn’t appear to be the All-Star caliber talent many—including this site—pegged him as.

That isn’t to say that his season was a total wash. He still dazzled with his glove, showed a little power, and hit enough to carry his elite glove. But given a full season at his disposal, it seems more than likely that Rosario will be able to put last season behind him and become the player we all think he can be.
