BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Brett Baty, one of New York's top prospects who made his debut last season, was recalled by the Mets on April 17. He's appeared in 10 games since and has shown the Amazins that they made the right decision by adding him back to the Major League roster.
The 23-year-old is hitting .333 with a .861 OPS, a home run, a double, and three RBI. His first homer of the year came on April 27 against the Washington Nationals. The ball traveled 400 feet into the center field seats at Citi Field and had an exit velocity of 102.7 mph. It was just the third home run of his young career.
With a 3-for-3 night last night, Brett Baty raised his season average to .321 💪 https://t.co/IGhZAm21cD pic.twitter.com/7Lv4pKBwDI

Although he's platooning with Eduardo Escobar at the hot corner, manager Buck Showalter said it is “Not strict. We’ll pick some spots there […] For both of them, really, [we] want to use both their skills. Make sure that I don’t close the door on anybody.” Sounds like Showalter may opt to ride the hot hand, and at the moment, Baty is the clear choice.
