New York Mets: Tomas Nido hired a swing coach in the offseason to improve offensively

Error 0:

It is very clear that the New York Mets have a starting catcher, and his name is Wilson Ramos. The Venezuelan remains the most potent offensive force at the position, but his defense and framing at this point in his career have taken a step back.

That’s why the Mets backup catcher, Tomas Nido, has had opportunities to play. The 2020 season will likely not be an exception: Ramos will see the bulk of at-bats from the position, but Nido will also play more than a little bit.

After all, Noah Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom, just to name a couple of Mets’ pitchers, haven’t been shy about saying they prefer to pitch to Nido and other backup options.
