Not announced yet by the Mets (that I've seen), but if they do, it's as good a time as any to get a look at him at the major league level. Good bat, high on base pct with some power. There's questions about his defense, but we'll see.

And he did! Can't start a career much better than that. One of the real pleasures of following baseball is seeing the young players come up.
I was really glad they were able to hold on at the end. I thought Acuna's ball was going to be trouble off the bat.

And just a little foot note.....after last night's win, the Mets lead their season series with Atlanta 9-6. They play 19 games total, so a win today would clinch the tie breaker with Atlanta (head to head record) if they end up tied for the division lead. That will mean a first round bye, as long as they finish with either the best or 2nd best record among the 3 NL division champs. I'm sure they'd rather it didn't come down to that, but something to keep in mind anyway.

Let's hope he turns out better than Benny Ayala...

They play 19 games total, so a win today would clinch the tie breaker with Atlanta (head to head record) if they end up tied for the division lead. That will mean a first round bye, as long as they finish with either the best or 2nd best record among the 3 NL division champs. I'm sure they'd rather it didn't come down to that, but something to keep in mind anyway.

If they collapse like that, a positional advantage in the playoffs might
be the least of their problems.

Up until now they have had one of the best records in baseball against
teams over 500.

I don't think that will be a problem. Just how good though, of course, only time will tell.
He did hit a ball hard off of a lefty, which is a pretty good sign to start with.

I brought up Ayala only because I was at the game where he hit that homer...1974 against the Astros. I'm fully confident Baty will have a better career! :)

OK, sure, no problem. We agree!
That Ayala game was longer ago than I realized, nice memory.
And thanks to Baty's homer last night, I now have it straight that Benny Ayala did that, not Benny Agbayani :)

>>> And just a little foot note.....after last night's win, the Mets lead their season series with Atlanta 9-6. They play 19 games total, so a win today would clinch the tie breaker with Atlanta (head to head record) if they end up tied for the division lead. That will mean a first round bye, as long as they finish with either the best or 2nd best record among the 3 NL division champs. I'm sure they'd rather it didn't come down to that, but something to keep in mind anyway.
