Brett Baty has been a valuable defensive player for the Mets, particularly since being utilized more at third base by manager Carlos Mendoza. Statcast rates him as being in the 70th percentile for outs above average, especially excelling with hard-hit balls. His defensive performance has provided stability during a challenging period for other key players. Despite the Mets' struggles offensively, including a five-game homer-less stretch, Baty's contributions in the field have been notable, demonstrating his growth and potential as a reliable fielder on the team.
His ability to throw from different angles, I feel he's in a good place right now.
Baty has provided steadiness during a stretch in which Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, among others, have endured slumps defensively.
It's rare that we go five games without a homer.
I think I am playing real good defense right now.
