Heading into this season, the New York Mets are still debating which player should hit at the top of their batting order this spring.
While a decision doesn’t need to be made right now, first-year manager Luis Rojas will likely select a full-time leadoff hitter before the end of spring training.
Prior to the 2019 campaign, Brandon Nimmo served as the primary leadoff hitter for the Mets. Since the 26-year-old outfielder was limited to just 69 games last season, Jeff McNeil was shifted into that role within their lineup.
