Team officials plan to discuss whether Brett Baty would be better served returning to Triple-A Syracuse, for his own good.
BALTIMORE — Mark Vientos’ start at third base on Sunday gave Mets officials another chance to view the rookie at the position before they potentially choose a course for most, if not all, of the remaining season.
But Baty went 0-for-18 on this latest road trip — following his rough July in which he produced a .552 OPS — and Mets officials are rightfully concerned that keeping the rookie in the lineup will be counterproductive. On Sunday as the DH, Baty was 0-for-2 with two walks in the Mets’ sixth straight loss,Vientos wasn’t spotless at third base, mishandling a grounder in the fifth inning on which he probably had a play at the plate.
The major league grind is relentless, an aspect of the game that often isn’t evident to young players until they arrive and experience it firsthand. Baty played in his 94th game on Sunday — all but nine of them have been for the Mets — placing him close to his career-high from last season. The difference was just 11 of those games came for the Mets last year and 95 were in the minor leagues.
Defensively he continues to work with infield coach Joey Cora on staying in a manageable position to field grounders.
