Brett Baty News
New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty erupted for nine total bases in Friday's 10-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, going 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI. Baty homered to deep right field in the second inning to score Jeff McNeil and Tyrone Taylor and give the Mets a temporary 3-0 lead before going yard to right field once more in the ninth to make things interesting late. It's been an up-and-down season for Baty, but the 24-year-old former top prospect is producing a respectable .271/.340/.385 triple-slash line with three long balls, two doubles, 13 RBI, and 13 runs scored over 96 at-bats (30 games) for the Mets during his second full year in the major leagues. He's only a viable fantasy option for those in NL-only leagues, holding limited upside while batting in the lower part of New York's lineup, but Baty's certainly worth watching in all leagues.
New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty is on the bench on Monday against the visiting Chicago Cubs. Baty will take a seat against Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon in favor of Mark Vientos, who hit a walk-off home run to help the club beat the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Vientos is hitting seventh for the Mets on Monday. Baty is also slumping, going 3-for-25 in his last nine games to drop his season line to .256/.322/.317 in his first 82 at-bats. The 24-year-old has added just one home run, nine RBI and nine runs scored. Vientos, who made his season debut with the Mets over the weekend, went 3-for-4 with the game-winning home run and two RBI in his first two games played. It's been a nice start, but playing time is going to be hard to come by for Vientos as long as J.D. Martinez stays healthy.
New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty (hamstring) will remain out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The young corner infielder has been sidelined since being forced out of Tuesday's game. The organization is hopeful to avoid a stint on the injured list. Baty was able to get through a full workout prior to Friday's game. It sounds like he is making progress, but isn't quite ready to play yet. It'll be Joey Wendle at third base and batting ninth versus right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Friday.

Having seen Brett Baty live around 8-10 times now, there's no doubt in my mind that he's going to be a solid Major League bat. In 237 career minor league games, Baty slashed .289/.390/.493 with 60 doubles and 38 home runs including a .315/.410/.533 line in 95 games last season before his promotion to the New York Mets. Baty has displayed an average to slightly above-average hit tool with the ability to draw walks above 10% of the time. While he's had some swing-and-miss issues at times, he's mostly kept the strikeout rate in check at around the 23-25% range. There's above-average power here as well that should lead to plenty of seasons above 20 home runs and maybe even flirt with 30. The real question is when do we see Baty this season? The Mets still have Eduardo Escobar in the mix at the hot corner and a crowded outfield. Granted, Escobar and Mark Canha (projected LF) aren't surefire locks to hold their respective starting gigs all season so we could see Baty at one or both of those spots if he begins the season hitting well in Triple-A.
