When the New York Mets selected Brett Baty with the No. 12 pick in the 2019 MLB Draft, excitement swirled around the promising power-hitter.
A year later, that excitement has become amplified and Baty is starting to be regarded as the Mets’ third baseman of the future. Talent evaluators have spoken, and ultimately believe the 20-year-old is on the rise, especially when it comes to his physique.
“He has lost 15 pounds and he looks better and moves better and that stuff impresses me,” one Mets evaluator said, per Mike Puma of the New York Post.
