The strong showing for Rosario comes on the heels of an encouraging finish to what overall was a disappointing 2018 season. Rosario hit .285/.319/.416 with 15 stolen bases in his last 53 games. Rosario also looked much better defensively down the stretch.
Rosario finished the 2018 season posting a 1.5 fWAR and 0.6 bWAR in 154 games for the Mets.
