Despite the New York Mets' addition of Bo Bichette to man the hot corner, Brett Baty is still a large part of the team's plans. Last season, the former top prospect showed enough signs of life with the bat (finally) that the club decided to add second base to his repertoire in order to find him some more at-bats.
The stated plan now is to expand his horizons further, with left field reps expected as either a Carson Benge hedge or as a way to transform him into a Jeff McNeil-like super utility player.
