Hall of Fame Case: Adrián González

There are 10 players eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame who have the Mets on some portion of their resume. Next up is one of the more consistent first basemen from the late 2000s to the mid-2010s who made Citi Field his last major-league home. He is making his first appearance on the Hall of Fame ballot.  There are players we refer to as Mets legends legitimately. There are players we...

Mets’ Lineup Continues to Lack Power Outside of Pete Alonso

Pete Alonso has been clobbering the baseball in the first month of the season. Alonso has amassed 10 home runs, and is second in the majors behind Max Muncy. He is well on pace to surpass 50 homers again for the first time since his rookie season in 2019. However, the Mets are relying far too much on Alonso to score via the long ball. The rest of the team has combined for just 16 home runs in 24...

Ronny Mauricio, William Lugo Provide Power in Jupiter

Even though the New York Mets lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in Jupiter, Florida, on Monday, their minor leaguers ended up providing power in the top of the ninth inning against Cardinals right-hander Tommy Parsons. It began when William Lugo hit a deep solo home run to center for his first homer of the spring. It was a tape measure shot that ended up going 437 feet and had an exit velocity of...

Ronny Mauricio Shows Off His Power

A spring for the youth, many of the Mets young stars are attempting to make their names known in hopes of cracking the major league roster or making a strong enough impression that they’ll be considered the next man up when the time comes calling. Brett Baty, one of the young stars the team boasts, started off strong by powering a home run to dead center field in his first spring game....

J.D. Martinez Could Solve Mets’ Power Problem

J.D. Martinez has long been linked with the New York Mets and he is exactly the type of player that could help solve their very real power problem in 2023. It has been a significant offseason for the Mets who have made a very real statement with their spending. Owner Steve Cohen has flexed his financial might by committing over $300 million on payroll for the 2023 season. That has allowed the...

Boras: Michael Conforto Back to Full Health

Updated Post – Dec. 15, 16:30  Super agent Scott Boras accompanied client Brandon Nimmo at Citi Field on Thursday for the presser to announce that Nimmo will be a Met for life following an eight-year, $162 million deal signed by the outfielder. During that time at Citi Field, Boras was asked about another client and former Met, Michael Conforto. The 29-year-old missed the entire 2022...

Why The Mets Should Add Power To Their Lineup

Note, this is part one in a short two part series. Article two will be released later today. The New York Mets have been incredibly active so far this off-season, but they still need to add some real power to the middle of their lineup. There was no doubt that the Mets had a few big needs to address heading into this off-season, including pitching, and they made a good start by signing elite...

Stanley Consuegra Shows Off Impressive Power

Seven Met prospects would see game time for the Peoria Javelinas in a game that ended in a 5-5 tie after ten innings. Two of the Peoria runs came off the bat of Stanley Consuegra and Luke Ritter, who each hit solo shots. Kevin Kendall continues to do well in the desert with a two-hit performance in this one. On the mound, Christian Scott would turn in the best start of his AFL season thus far....

Mets Need to Add Power This Offseason

As the dust settles following a disappointing end to their 2022 season, the New York Mets are set to enter a crucial offseason that has the potential to change the look and feel of the roster. They will also have a host of needs that are likely to be addressed and adding power to the lineup is should certainly be one of them. It would be unfair to pin all of the shortcomings of this year’s...

Lindor, Alonso Power Mets Past Brewers

The New York Mets continued play on Tuesday evening against the Milwaukee Brewers, one day after they clinched a postseason berth for the first time since 2016. They looked to continue their good fortunes on the road, holding a 44-29 record away from Citi Field going into the game. With a tight race in the National League East, and a third wildcard spot in play, both teams have a lot at stake...

J.D. Davis Must Revert Back to 2019 Launch Angle

After being acquired from the Houston Astros in 2019, third baseman J.D. Davis was able to break out in a massive way for the New York Mets and helped his team finish just a few games shy of a late-season playoff berth. Looking to follow up on his impressive performance, the 27-year old entered this season with extremely high expectations but hasn’t been able to play up to them so far. As...

Jeff McNeil Is Back

Just six days ago, it wasn’t a tremendous reach to say that Jeff McNeil was having a disappointing year. After going 0-for-4 in a 5-3 loss to the Phillies on September 4, his batting line sat at .282/.344/.364; not terrible, but certainly not what Mets fans had hoped for coming into the season. Over the last five games, McNeil has untied that narrative in a hurry, going on a 9-for-17...
