Mets Exit Interview: Jeff McNeil proved he is for real in 2019
In 2019, New York Mets super-utility man Jeff McNeil showed us all he’s the real deal when it comes to playing baseball.
Ever since Jeff McNeil was called up in late July 2018, he has been one of the best hitters on the New York Mets. After McNeil batted .329 with a .381 OBP in 63 games for the Mets in the second half of 2018, it looked like the Mets found their second basemen of the future.
However, going into 2019, McNeil was still not being taken seriously by the Mets front office. During the offseason, the Mets acquired second basemen Robinson Canó and infielder Jed Lowrie, filling up their infield without a spot for McNeil.
