Here’s a rundown of the key things to look for during Mets’ spring training:
Best position battle
Peter Alonso is expected to receive every opportunity to show he can handle first base on an everyday basis and bring a powerful bat to the lineup. But Todd Frazier will also be looking for playing time in a crowded infield and could begin the season at first base if Alonso isn’t deemed ready.
Most intriguing minor leaguer
Alonso blasted 36 homers last season split between Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Las Vegas and possesses as much raw power as anybody the Mets have developed in recent years.
