New York Mets 2021 Season Preview: Is third base a weakness?
(Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)Do the Mets need to upgrade at the hot corner? Or is J.D. Davis ready to take his game to another level?
Our 2021 preview series for the New York Mets now continues around the infield, finishing at the hot corner.
Third base has been a problem area for the New York Mets the last few years. Jeff McNeil plugged in there every once in a while, J.D. Davis has played there and likely will be the starter in 2021, and Todd Frazier has held down the spot.
No matter who the Mets put there though, it’s been a struggle. Offensively they’ve gotten more than enough from McNeil and Davis, but the defense has lagged far behind.
