PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Jeff McNeil, the Met with the most mitts in his clubhouse locker, was encouraged to reorganize his stall during spring training. He was rotating between third base and left field, depending on the day, and batting anywhere from leadoff to eighth, so the third-base coach, Gary DiSarcina, sat down and explained to him that he needed to eliminate some clutter.
McNeil proceeded to pull eight gloves from his locker and pile them on the floor. The last one he retrieved was the most worn.
“That’s the gamer!” he said.
