Brett Baty was killing it so much that Eduardo Escobar — the one Baty is replacing — was practically the first to endorse Baty’s call-up to the Mets.
With his endorsement, Escobar was perhaps behind only Mets fans who have been clamoring for the call-up for weeks, since way back in spring training, when Baty was hitting the ball hard and Escobar, a notorious peak-and-valley guy, was beginning his descent into a valley from which he hasn’t emerged.It’s hard to tell anything in spring training. Most established big leaguers are presumably just counting the days until they are out of Port St. Lucie and playing games that count.
As a professional quibbler, I might quibble with the part where anyone has as much power as major league home run leader Pete Alonso or for that matter Alvarez . But you get the point. The kid should be a threat in a lineup that looks like it needs one. The other reality, as one rival scout put it, is that “he’s supposed to come in wearing a cape.” The Mets’ 9-6 record entering Sunday is a mirage as it’s been built mostly on the backs of the Marlins and A’s, who should be in the International League themselves.
