There still is a place for the basic logic applied Friday by the Mets among all the analytical thinking and new rules permeating baseball.
during the Mets’ 1-0 homestand-opening win against the RockiesManager Buck Showalter indicated his decision was the confluence of about a dozen different variables, but a simpler explanation could be that moving up a hot hitter gets him more at-bats and run-producers should bat in the middle-third.
He hit either No. 7 or No. 8 in each of his first 23 MLB starts , but the Mets need to provide better protection for Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil. The left-handed Baty, who had five home runs in 42 at-bats at Triple-A to start the season, got the chance with .222 Mark Canha on the bench against right-handed starter Antonio Senzatela.
Even as he settles in as the every-day third baseman over veteran Eduardo Escobar, Baty still has his foot pressed on the gas.
