Are the New York Mets worried that the meager production from Jose Reyes is more than just an early-season slump?
Reyes has just four hits in his first 46 at-bats (.087 BA) and is the prime reason the leadoff spot has become a black hole for the team. Mets leadoff hitters own a .086 BA and a .172 OBP, easily the worst marks in the majors.
Reyes is 1-for-29 with a .034/.097/.034 slash line while batting first in the order.
“His struggles have some in the organization wondering if time is finally catching up with the 33-year-old four-time All-Star and former batting champion and he is declining quicker than expected,” writes Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News.
