BRETT BATY NEWS

Likely to start season in minors Baty (thumb) is likely to begin the season at Triple-A Syracuse, Deesha Thosar of FOXSports.com reports.

Impact The Mets' third-base job opened back up when their deal with Carlos Correa fell through, but they're expected to turn back to Eduardo Escobar rather than hand the hot corner over to Baty. Escobar is slated to play for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, so Baty will have plenty of opportunities in camp to change the Mets' minds. The top prospect mostly struggled when pressed into duty with the big club last season, but Baty is likely the future at third base. Ideally, the Mets would probably like him to seize the job against righties at some point in 2023.

Brett Baty Has Major League Debut For the Mets History Books The New York Mets promoted top prospect, Brett Baty, to the majors this week and he made an immediate impact in his debut.

AUGUST 18, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Homers in first MLB at-bat Baty went 1-for-4 with one home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 9-7 victory over Atlanta.

Impact In his first career at bat, Baty took Jake Odorizzi deep for his first career home run. Baty only played six games at Triple-A, but he mashed Double-A to the tune of a .312/.406/.544 slash, and Wednesday's home run show that the Mets may have been correct to think that he is ready for the big leagues. It was also encouraging that the former first round pick did not strike out in his debut as he owned a 25 percent strikeout rate at Double-A this year.

Impact Expect the 22-year-old to get an extended look as the Mets' everyday third baseman while both Luis Guillorme (groin) and Eduardo Escobar (oblique) are on the shelf. The lefty-hitting Baty has only six games of experience above the Double-A level, but he shined across stops at the Mets' top two minor-league affiliates this season, slashing a collective .315/.410/.533 with a 24.8 percent strikeout rate and 11.6 percent walk rate. Baty could be an appealing speculative pickup in deeper mixed leagues for managers looking for an infusion of power from a corner-infield spot.

Joins big club in Atlanta Baty joined the Mets on Wednesday and is expected to be formally called up from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of the team's game in Atlanta, SNY.tv reports.

Impact With Eduardo Escobar (oblique) in line to join Luis Guillorme (groin) on the 10-day injured list, the 22-year-old Baty should immediately settle in as the Mets' everyday third baseman. Whether he retains the gig when Guillorme and Escobar are likely back to full health at some point in September will likely be determined by how well Baty performs over the next few weeks in his first taste of the big leagues. Baty showed an advanced approach at the plate between stops at Syracuse and Double-A Binghamton this season, slashing .315/.410/.533 while striking out at a 24.8 percent rate and walking at an 11.6 percent clip across 420 plate appearances.
