New York Mets’ Jeff McNeil is on the verge of becoming an elite player

Entering this season, not many people within the New York Mets organization expected Jeff McNeil to transform into the best all-around hitter on the team. Prior to this season, McNeil had a total of just 63 games of major-league experience.

During the 27-year-old’s time up with the Mets last season, McNeil displayed flashes of becoming this type of hitter, but not many could have predicted an offensive production like this just one year later. Through 133 games this season, McNeil has recorded 38 doubles, 23 home runs, 75 RBI, .214 ISO, .337 BABIP, 143 wRC+, 4.
