Brett Baty's promotion to the New York Mets' Opening Day roster follows his solid off-season training and successful spring performance. An injury to Jeff McNeil presented an opportunity for Baty, who proved himself capable at second base. Manager Carlos Mendoza emphasized that Baty should relax and perform without pressure to deliver immediate results. Baty's approach focuses on consistency rather than chasing high statistics as he prepares to face the challenges of major league pitching, reflecting on his prior experiences and determination.
"It's excitement when Mendy told me. I put in a lot of work this offseason and it paid off."
"Don't feel like you have to get four hits, three hits, every day to be in the lineup. Control what you can control."
"I can go out there and go 0-for-20 to start the season or I could go 20-for-20. You just stay the course and stay even."
"The impressive numbers... in the Grapefruit League are irrelevant. He has to show he can handle major league pitching when the games count."
