Billy McKinney, a former first-round pick, has signed a minor league contract with the Mets. Despite struggling in the big leagues with a .209 batting average, he has excelled in the minors, hitting .288/.398/.500 over the last three seasons. McKinney's journey has seen him play for seven MLB teams, and while the Mets' crowded outfield makes it tough for him to make the roster, he aims to leverage his performance in Syracuse to attract interest from other teams.
He's had 943 big league plate appearances... his .209/.284/.386 batting line translates to a 79 wRC+, indicating he's been 21% below league average overall.
Over the past three seasons, he has hit .288/.398/.500 on the farm for a 128 wRC+. That performance... has kept him floating around.
