Former top prospect Brett Baty is heading into spring training with his back against the wall, fighting for his place in the Mets’ starting lineup. The 25-year-old left-handed bat has yet to solidify himself in the majors, and with competition ramping up at third base, this spring could be his last real shot at proving he belongs.

Baty’s first couple of seasons in the big leagues have been anything but smooth.
In 2024, he played 50 games and hit just .229/.306/.327, managing only four home runs and 16 RBIs.
