Jeff McNeil is a special hitter. Yes, he only has a couple of seasons of MLB experience, but it is not hard to reach that conclusion. He has a lifetime batting average of .321 in 815 plate appearances and 196 games, and when he catches fire, you know something special could happen. Reports from the New York Mets’ camp at Citi Field are glowing, as players and coaches say he has been crushing the ball.
When we consider the fact that the 2020 season will only have 60 games, there will be space for plenty of statistical oddities.
