Tomas Nido figures to be the Met’s backup catcher again in 2020.

After spending short stints with the Mets in both the 2017 and 2018 seasons, Tomas Nido managed to stick with the Mets for most of the 2019 season. The dismissal of Travis d’Arnaud on April 28th cleared room for Nido to solidify his position as the team’s backup catcher. Following his first extended run of big league service time in 2019, Nido has played 89 big league games, and logged almost 250 at bats in his career.

In that time, the strengths and weaknesses in Nido’s game have become abundantly clear.
