It can be scary to approach a slumping polar bear, but once J.D. Martinez got up the nerve, the Met slugger’s bat heated up. A great piece by Tim Healey of Newsday Friday captures how Martinez helped Pete Alonso break out of a deep slump. “He understands the swing and can help pretty much everybody,” Alonso told Healey. “He has a very unique perspective. Sometimes you...
Although his name was not in the starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday, Mets outfielder Harrison Bader still found a way to make a significant impact on the outcome of the game. His first at-bat came in a high-leverage spot in the eighth inning with runners on first and second with two outs. When the count reached one ball and two strikes, Bader lined a hit up the middle...
