Why isn’t Mets prospect Ronny Mauricio playing a new position yet?

At the start of the 2023 regular season, the Mets’ Triple-A lineup in Syracuse was absolutely loaded. While Francisco Alvarez and Brett Baty are no longer there, Mark Vientos and Ronny Mauricio still are. And they’re tearing apart opposing pitching at every opportunity.

Among 165 minor leaguers with a min. 50 plate appearances this season, Mark Vientos is currently tied for the 6th-highest wRC+ with a 198 mark.

Ronny Mauricio is 8th with a 193 wRC+.@Metsmerized #Mets #LGM

Mauricio, who just turned 22 years old, has been firing on all cylinders in the batter’s box for quite some time.
