It took Brett Baty just over three years to go from being a first-round pick to his MLB debut. It took one at-bat to make his mark for the Mets.
Baty homered in the second inning of Wednesday’s game against the Braves, driving in two runs in his first career plate appearance. Baty was called up from Triple A on Tuesday in the midst of a stand-out minor-league season, in which he was batting .315/.410/.533 with 19 home runs across Double and Triple A.
Making the night even more special? The fact that his family was on hand to see it.
