In less than one year at the big league level, New York Mets super utility man Jeff McNeil has continued to surpass expectations. It’s one thing to hit .329 as a rookie in your first 225 at-bats. It’s another to come out and repeat the process with an even better pace in the following season.
McNeil is among the National League leaders in batting average this season. I’m not sure it gets much attention either. He’s one of the few hitting for a high average without knocking the ball over the fence with regularity.
