During the New York Mets' spring training, outfielder Jose Siri hit a significant three-run home run while Brett Baty and Luisangel Acuna competed for the utility-infielder role. Both players showcased their versatility by playing out of their natural positions. This battle becomes crucial as the Mets finalize their roster for the upcoming season. Baty's impressive spring stats contrast with his struggles in the majors, raising questions about his consistency. Meanwhile, Acuna is aiming to solidify his place in the team amid a highly competitive environment.
Baty, a natural third baseman, played second while Acuna, who played shortstop and second base last year, manned the hot corner.
Baty is batting .444 with a 1.333 OPS, two home runs, and three RBI during spring training, demonstrating his spring prowess.
The organization has a largely cemented roster but will see if Baty and Acuna can prove their versatility for the final non-pitching spot.
Baty's struggles in translating his spring performances to the MLB level have led him to realign expectations for his future.
