Brett Baty News
New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty is not in the lineup on Monday against left-hander Patrick Corbin and the Washington Nationals. It's the third time in the last four games that Baty has started on the bench for the Mets against a southpaw. The 23-year-old is hitting better against lefties, though, than against righties so far in 2023. In 19 plate appearances against southpaws, he's gone 5-for-18 (.278) with a double and a solo home run while striking out only twice. Baty has struggled so far in May, going 8-for-45 (.178) with two doubles, a homer and four RBI in 13 games played. Eduardo Escobar will take his spot at the hot corner on Monday and will hit eight in the batting order against Corbin.
New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty is back in the starting lineup on Friday and is starting at third base and batting sixth against Colorado Rockies right-hander Antonio Senzatela (knee), who is making his 2023 debut. Baty is slowly rising up the Mets batting order as he continues to hit well in just 14 games in his second big-league season with the team. He has gone 14-for-45 (.311) with two doubles, two home runs, four RBI and five runs scored in 49 plate appearances. The 23-year-old sat out against a left-handed pitcher on Thursday, but he's been seeing more playing time against southpaws lately as well. Baty has lots of fantasy upside and has a very appealing matchup in his return to the lineup Friday.
New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. Baty has performed nicely in his first 14 games with the Mets so far in 2023, hitting .311 (14-for-45) with two doubles, two home runs, four RBI and five runs scored, but he'll take a seat in this one for a day of rest against a southpaw. Fantasy managers need to put him on their benches. With Baty out, Eduardo Escobar will draw the start at the hot corner and hit eighth against Rodriguez. Escobar is hitting just .172 (10-for-58) in the early going with two doubles, a triple, three home runs and nine RBI in 18 games played, and he won't have much DFS appeal in the eight-hole.

Having seen Brett Baty live around 8-10 times now, there's no doubt in my mind that he's going to be a solid Major League bat. In 237 career minor league games, Baty slashed .289/.390/.493 with 60 doubles and 38 home runs including a .315/.410/.533 line in 95 games last season before his promotion to the New York Mets. Baty has displayed an average to slightly above-average hit tool with the ability to draw walks above 10% of the time. While he's had some swing-and-miss issues at times, he's mostly kept the strikeout rate in check at around the 23-25% range. There's above-average power here as well that should lead to plenty of seasons above 20 home runs and maybe even flirt with 30. The real question is when do we see Baty this season? The Mets still have Eduardo Escobar in the mix at the hot corner and a crowded outfield. Granted, Escobar and Mark Canha (projected LF) aren't surefire locks to hold their respective starting gigs all season so we could see Baty at one or both of those spots if he begins the season hitting well in Triple-A.
