Mets Daily Prospect Report, 8/17/24: Bring Baty back?

ROCHESTER 9, SYRACUSE 2 (BOX)

The Mets lost again here behind a poor start from Blade Tidwell, but let’s move right past that to Brett Baty. Baty homered for the fourth time in his last seven games, and none of them have been cheapies. On the one hand, he’s been ice-cold since the start of July and his plate discipline metrics are generally going the wrong way. On the other, maybe this power surge is indicative of something finally clicking, and the Mets could probably use a boost on the bench down the stretch here.
