Sometimes it’s easy to forget just how good Yoenis Cespedes is. With the 2015 season feeling a bit more distant in the memories of Mets fans, his outstanding performance down the stretch that year might be fading a bit. But Cespedes—who had always been at least a decent hitter, usually better, before that year—has been really, really good over the past three seasons.
In total, the Cuban outfielder has hit .287/.342/.537 with 83 home runs in 1,540 plate appearances, a chunk of which he spent with the Tigers in 2015 before Detroit traded him to the Mets for Michael Fulmer at the trade deadline that year.
