Mets manager Carlos Mendoza struggles with lineup decisions as Brett Baty, a left-handed hitter, continues to show sporadic success. After a rough start, Baty hit .333 with a 1.040 OPS over a recent seven-game stretch but was sent back to Triple-A due to roster constraints. Mets president David Stearns believes Baty possesses the talent to succeed in Major League Baseball. As the Mets navigate lineup complexities, Baty's performance poses significant questions about his future and the team's offensive strategy.
"When [struggling top prospects] have that level of talent, they're generally going to figure it out at some point and have some success at the major league level," Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said from Citi Field.
Baty was excellent for a week, hitting a homer and two doubles during a seven-game span in which he batted .333 with a 1.040 OPS.
It has been increasingly difficult to remove Brett Baty's lefty bat from the lineup.
For his good work, he was sent back to Triple-A Syracuse because Jeff McNeil's return caused a roster squeeze.
