Mark Vientos overcame a four-month slump and a loss of power that left him batting .219 with a .630 OPS, six home runs and 24 RBI by July 18 after a 27-home-run previous season. Over his last 24 games he has batted .303 with a .922 OPS, producing a condensed power surge that included six homers in his last 18 games and five in the last eight nights. Vientos delivered an RBI double that ignited a three-run fourth-inning rally and a follow-up go-ahead double against Philadelphia as the Mets pursued the NL East lead.
Perhaps Mark Vientos was more of an x-factor for the Mets' 2025 hopes than initially believed. After four months of ceaseless struggles and the disappearance of his power, which saw him batting .219 with a .630 OPS, six home runs, and 24 RBI on July 18 after belting 27 home runs last season, the 25-year-old third baseman/designated hitter is clawing out of the doldrums in a big way.
Over his last 24 games, he has looked significantly more comfortable and patient at the plate, batting .303 with a .922 OPS. With it has come a condensed and frenzied power surge. He has as many home runs in his last 18 games (six) as he had in his first 73 games of 2025. Five of those round-trippers have come in the last eight nights.
