Mets Position Players Shine in Recent Performance Review

The New York Mets have seen a mix of performances from their position players in the recent weeks, highlighted by A.J. Ewing's impressive turnaround. After struggling for months, Ewing has emerged with a remarkable 174 wRC+ in his last 45 plate appearances, including two home runs in September. He recorded two three-hit games against the Marlins, driving in five runs and leading the team with 15 hits overall this month.

In contrast, Carson Benge, who is vying for the NL Rookie of the Year, has experienced a decline in form. With a batting average of just .213 in his last 54 plate appearances, Benge has struck out 16 times while contributing seven runs and three RBIs. Despite his struggles, he remains the team leader in stolen bases with three and continues to impress defensively.

Nick Morabito, another rookie, has made a strong impression since his call-up, posting a 121 wRC+ in 22 plate appearances. His standout moment came with a bases-clearing double that helped secure a victory against the Rays. Additionally, Brett Baty has been a force at the plate, boasting a staggering 236 wRC+ in the same number of plate appearances, contributing significantly with ten RBIs from seven hits, including four doubles and two home runs.

Mark Vientos has also returned from the injured list, making a positive impact with four hits, two of which were home runs, in just 16 plate appearances. Jared Young continues to be a reliable presence at first base, leading the team with 12 runs scored and maintaining a solid 110 wRC+ over his last 42 plate appearances. Francisco Lindor remains a key player, leading the team in RBIs with 13 and hitting two home runs in a recent game against the Yankees, showcasing his consistent performance in the second half of the season.
