Bo Bichette Fantasy Stats

New York Mets infielder Bo Bichette stayed hot at the plate in Friday night's 7-5 win over the division-rival Atlanta Braves at Citi Field by going 2-for-3 with two home runs and a career-high six RBI to raise his season batting average to .232 and his OPS to .635. Bichette got things going right away for New York, with a leadoff bomb in the first inning, followed by a grand slam in the second frame. Bichette has now homered three times in the last two games after previously not going deep since a two-homer performance against the Washington Nationals on May 19. After an ice-cold start to his Mets tenure in 2026, Bichette has picked things up offensively and is hitting .308 (12-for-39) with three homers, two doubles, a triple, 12 RBI, and five runs scored in 10 games so far in June. The two-time All-Star is hitting only .232 (64-for-276) on the year, but he has added eight homers, 40 RBI, and 33 runs scored in his 300 plate appearances. Under the hood, Bichette ranks in the 77th percentile in hard-hit rate, but he sits in just the 52nd percentile in xwOBA.

New York Mets infielder Bo Bichette could be on the verge of breaking out offensively after homering for the second straight day in Tuesday night's 9-6 loss on the road in D.C. to the division-rival Washington Nationals. Bichette went 2-for-4 at the plate out of the two-hole with two home runs and four RBI to boost his season average to .224 and his OPS to .609. It has not been the season that Mets fans had envisioned in the 28-year-old's first year in Queens, as he entered Tuesday's tilt with a .219/.273/.297 slash line with only three home runs, 21 RBI, 21 runs scored, a steal, 15 walks, and 34 strikeouts in his first 47 games across 209 plate appearances. Bichette's xwOBA is in just the 52nd percentile, and his hard-hit rate ranks in the 64th percentile in baseball. However, he's now gone deep three times in the last two games, potentially signaling a turnaround at the plate for the former Toronto Blue Jays shortstop. With Francisco Lindor (calf) and Mauricio Dubon (thumb) both on the injured list, Bichette has shifted from third to shortstop in New York, and it could be helping him click on offense.

New York Mets third baseman Bo Bichette's struggles at the plate have continued, as he is slashing .190/.280/.333 over the past seven days. On the season, his slash line is .230/.272/.317 with two home runs, 14 RBI, and 15 runs scored to go with one stolen base. Bichette is a proven player in the league, so fantasy managers should not be dropping him; however, we are now seven weeks into the season, and Bichette has yet to find his groove with the struggling Mets. Fantasy managers looking for some signs to hold onto Bichette should look at his underlying data, as he has a .290 xBA, .322 xwOBA, and .409 xSLG. All of those do indicate positive regression is on the mend, but in the meantime, he has not given fantasy managers the return they expected from a player going in the middle rounds. Up next for Bichette and the Mets is a weekend series in Anaheim to take on the Angels and a three-game set in Coors to face the Rockies, both of which should be good hitting conditions and a chance for Bichette to start to turn things around.

New York Mets third baseman Bo Bichette didn't take long to hear the boo-birds coming his way during his opening weekend with his new team, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. It wasn't all bad for Bichette in the series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but he did strike out multiple times per game and carries an early 53.3% strikeout rate in 15 plate appearances. Bichette acknowledged that he's feeling the pressure after signing a three-year, $126 million contract with the Mets in the offseason. To begin the 2026 season, he went 1-for-14 with an RBI, run scored, and eight strikeouts. "We can talk about it being early, but I need to figure some things out," Bichette said. "I've done it before. Just different circumstances." Fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned just yet, especially since Bichette is also transitioning on defense from the move from shortstop to the hot corner in Queens.

New York Mets third baseman Bo Bichette hit his first home run of spring training on Tuesday in the Grapefruit League game against the Miami Marlins, going 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, and five RBI. The 28-year-old two-time All-Star is starting to get a little more comfortable at the plate and at defense at the hot corner for the Mets with a week to go until Opening Day. Bichette came into Thursday's spring action hitting .267 (8-for-30) with a homer, eight RBI, four runs scored, four walks, and five strikeouts in 12 games played. He bounced back from an injury-plagued 2024 campaign to slash .311/.357/.483 with an .840 OPS, 18 home runs, 94 RBI, 78 runs scored, and four steals in 139 regular-season games in 2025 in his final year in Toronto. Bichette should give fantasy managers a high floor with his strong contact skills, midrange power, and reliable counting stats in another strong lineup in Queens. He'll also provide shortstop eligibility to begin the year for fantasy managers. Bichette doesn't have the elite power/speed profile of the high-end fantasy shortstops, which is why he's more of a midrange fantasy target at shortstop/third base.

New York Mets infielder Bo Bichette is starting at third base and batting third in the team's Grapefruit League opener on Saturday against the division-rival Miami Marlins, according to Max Goodman of NJ.com. Despite the injury to Francisco Lindor (hand) that could keep him sidelined to start the 2026 season, the Mets will keep Bichette at the hot corner. The 27-year-old former second-rounder in 2016 had an injury-plagued year for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2024 but bounced back nicely and led them to the World Series last season, slashing .311/.357/.483 with an .840 OPS, 18 home runs, 94 RBI, 78 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 139 regular-season games (628 plate appearances). The move to Queens should be good for his run production near the top of a strong lineup, and as long as he stays healthy, he should provide around 20 long balls. Adding third base eligibility will help, too. RotoBaller has Bichette ranked as the No. 14 fantasy shortstop to begin 2026.

The New York Mets signed Bo Bichette this offseason to play third base, and The Athletic's Will Sammon writes that he "won't be taking reps at shortstop" following Francisco Lindor's surgery on the hamate bone in his hand. However, Sammon adds that it could change if Lindor's timetable changes. Early this spring with Lindor sidelined, infielders Vidal Brujan, Grae Kessinger, Jackson Cluff, and Ronny Mauricio will take spring training reps at the 6. The Mets are hoping that Lindor won't miss time, if any, to begin the 2026 regular season, so they'll keep Bichette locked in at the hot corner. The 27-year-old needs all the reps he can get at third, since he's never played the position professionally. Bichette rebounded nicely from an injury-plagued 2024 campaign to hit .311/.357/.483 with an .840 OPS, 18 homers, and 94 RBI in 139 regular-season games last year. He should have a high ceiling for run production while hitting for a high average and producing around 20 homers, and he'll have dual-position eligibility in 2026.

New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Bo Bichette and Jorge Polanco will likely bat third and fourth, respectively. Presumably, that alignment is contingent on Francisco Lindor (hand) being ready for opening day. Bichette was the Mets' biggest addition of the offseason. The former Blue Jays shortstop will likely shift to third base in New York when Lindor is healthy. He's a dependable contributor with the bat in his hands, slashing .311/.357/.483 with 18 home runs and 134 wRC+ across 139 games in 2025. Polanco is also a new addition for the Mets after inking a free agent contract in December. He spent the last two years in Seattle, primarily slotting in as the Mariners' second baseman or designated hitter. He slashed .265/.326/.495 with 26 home runs and 132 wRC+ last season. He typically led off for the Mariners, but he did make 21 cleanup appearances with a suboptimal .615 OPS in the fourth slot.

New York Mets infielder Bo Bichette has decided not to participate in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. Bichette was going to play for Brazil, but has decided to back out of the tourney. Instead, Bichette wants to focus on preparing for the upcoming 2026 season with his new team. The 27-year-old has represented Brazil in the past, and is eligible to do so because his mother was born in Brazil. Bichette signed a three-year, $126 million deal with the Mets during the offseason. It's understandable that he doesn't want to risk an injury and will shift his focus to helping the Mets win this season.

After spending the first seven years of his career with the Toronto Blue Jays, infielder Bo Bichette will suit up in 2026 for the New York Mets. The soon-to-be 28-year-old inked a three-year $126 million contract with New York that will see him move from shortstop to third base. Bichette had an excellent year with Toronto in 2025, posting a .311/.357/.483 slash line with 18 home runs, 94 RBI, 78 runs scored, and four stolen bases across 628 plate appearances. While Bichette had a strong lineup around him with the Blue Jays, there's an argument to be made that he's in a better position to rack up counting stats with the Mets. Bichette will likely hit at the top of the lineup alongside outfielder Juan Soto and shortstop Francisco Lindor, both of whom topped 200 combined runs and RBI in 2025. If there's a reason for concern with Bichette, it may be the adjustment period that could come with learning a new position. However, he will gain multi-position eligibility early in the season, which only boosts his 2026 fantasy value.
