For years, Mark Vientos was a player searching for his moment. The raw power was always there, but consistency at the major league level eluded him. That all changed in 2024, when the New York Mets’ third baseman finally put it all together and emerged as a true middle-of-the-order force.
Vientos’ breakout season wasn’t just impressive—it was the kind of leap that turns a player from a fringe roster piece into a foundational bat. With a 133 wRC+, 27 home runs, and a 2.9 fWAR in just 111 games, he didn’t just prove he belonged—he made it clear he was a legitimate asset.
