The Mets opened their Grapefruit league schedule with a 6-2 win over the Astros. Let’s round up the noteworthy things that happened in the exhibition game.
- Juan Soto hit a home run to left-center in his first spring training at-bat as a Met.
- Pete Alonso was the first Met to use an ABS challenge in a major league spring training game, successfully getting a called third strike overturned before ultimately drawing a walk. The system will not be used in regular season major league games this year.
