The Mets and Yankees have reversed courses since the start of the season in what they’ve asked out of their youngest players.
Francisco Alvarez, Brett Baty and Mark Vientos for the Mets. Anthony Volpe and Oswaldo Cabrera for the Yankees. Their roles have told the stories of their respective clubs.
Eduardo Escobar’s ineptness paved the way for Baty’s call-up, while lackluster production at designated hitter from Daniel Vogelbach and Tommy Pham helped lead to Vientos’ call-up. Omar Narvaez’s injury and woeful hitting from Tomas Nido prompted Alvarez to get called up and then stay on the MLB roster.
Brett Baty has shown the inconsistency of a rookie, but also the skills that promise the Mets stability at third base for seasons to come.Alvarez looks like a budding star, and is showing why he was the No. 1 prospect in all of MLB. His 12 home runs are second-most among catchers, and he’s received strong compliments from the pitching staff about his defense and work ethic. Baty has held his own, slashing .228/.311/.352 and flashing his full-field hitting ability.
