The kids came to play in Port St. Lucie this spring, folks. With a roster mostly set on the position player side of the house, prospects like Ronny Mauricio, Brett Baty, and Mark Vientos have done their best to force the Mets’ hand before Opening Day.
Who knows how much near-term decision-making will ultimately change from it all. But still, this young talent has opened the eyes of many over the past couple of weeks. All three have been impressive at the dish. But when it comes to the one who has probably dropped the most jaws, that honor likely goes to Mauricio.
