Spring training games just started for the Mets and the rest of Major League Baseball. As I sit here to write this, it’s still February. There’s more than one month until Opening Day. It’d be irresponsible to draw any legitimate conclusions from the first weekend of Grapefruit League action. However, it’s hard to start things much better than how top prospect Brett Baty has.
Baty has appeared in three games since Friday: one intrasquad game and two Grapefruit League contests. He’s hitting better than .500 with an OPS up over 2.000. His performance in the intrasquad game included a single and RBI double.
