New York Mets infielder Amed Rosario showed us a glimpse of his talent in 2018, as he flashed his glove and showed some pop at the dish.

However, the 22-year-old wants to get better and better and live up to the No. 1 prospect label that was thrust upon him, according to Fred Kerber of the New York Post. His teammates think he has the drive to do so.

“He just shows you he wants to be better and wants to work within the team. When you have a kid like that, young, talented, comes to play hard every day and do what’s best for the team, you feel proud about it,” veteran Asdrubal Cabrera said. “He knows how to play. He comes to learn. He’s not afraid to ask people what he has to do to get better.”

Rosario was called up following the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline in 2017 and turned in a .248/.271/.394 clip with four long balls over 170 plate appearances.

In the field, his talent is undeniable, but to elevate his game, he knows there is one glaring thing he needs to concentrate on.

“My strike zone,” Rosario said. “Last year my strike zone was way too big. So I tried to put in a small one. Last year I was swinging at too many pitches out through the zone. This year I want to stay with my plan, only swing at good pitches.”

In fact, Rosario’s .271 on-base percentage was low and can be chalked up to the solitary one walk he drew during his time in the majors.

This is natural for a young buck who is getting his first taste of the Major Leagues. He was giddy and was trying to hit everything. However, this isn’t the Minors anymore and swinging freely will ultimately be a weakness pitchers will expose.

“He’s going to chase at times, but he’s done a good job trying not to,” said Mets Manager Mickey Callaway. “He’s getting better at that. We can’t expect him to all of a sudden be a different player. He’s maturing. He’ll get a lot better. He’s doing the little things right, (which has been) impressive.”

Rosario also realizes he must stay healthy in order to make a lasting impact on the team.

“I’m not trying to put any pressure on myself. This spring has been pretty good. I’m working hard, feeling great, feeling healthy,” Rosario said, emphasizing the health after he lost eight games to injury and illness following his Aug. 1 call-up. “I hope I stay healthy during the season, then I think I can show the people that I can play.”

Outfielder Michael Conforto believes that Rosario will correct his lack of plate discipline and be a standout guy.

“He’s working on patience. He’s such a natural hitter, such a talented hand-eye guy he was good enough to get away with it at the lower levels. It’s a blessing and a curse to be that good,” Conforto said.
