Maybe this isn’t exactly what the Mets envisioned when they drafted Brett Baty in the first round of the 2019 draft, and his timeline certainly isn’t what the club envisioned. But Baty has finally blossomed from prospect to big leaguer.
The second baseman/third baseman broke a tie in the bottom of the seventh inning to help the Mets edge the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night at Citi Field. One night after walking off against the Bucs, Baty ensured a stress-free ending.
Since returning from Triple-A, Baty is hitting .353 with four home runs and seven RBI.
