What to make of Mark Vientos? Nobody really knows at this point. And it seems after seven years in the organization and nearly 300 MLB plate appearances, the Mets still don’t really know, either.
The Florida native profiles most as a DH, but he’s struggled to hit at the big league level so far. Fear not, though, because the Mets have spent all offseason telling us that they are ensuring he has a clear path to playing time in 2024 so that they can find out what they have in him. To that end, they’ve abstained from signing any of the DH options that have been and remain on the market.
