It's almost tough to describe just how terrible the Mets were at the plate over the past seven days. Collectively, the team hit .184/.256/.249, which translated to a 47 wRC+, the second-worst mark in the game—thanks only to Arizona's even more extreme ineptitude at the plate. There were only a couple of highlights here, so before you look down the list of arrows here, you've been warned.
Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Eric Campbell, 1B | Despite slugging a respectable .444, mainly because of his big home run, Campbell managed just a 63 wRC+ for the week. | ||
Travis d’Arnaud, C | Simply put, d’Arnaud was the only Mets regular to perform well at the plate this week. He hit .294/.368/.529. He has been the brightest spot of the Mets’ second half. | ||
Matt den Dekker, OF | In 21 plate appearances, den Dekker managed a decent .333 on-base percentage thanks to a high walk rate but still turned in a poor week overall. | ||
Lucas Duda, 1B | The Mets’ most productive hitter this year, Duda went from so-so in the previous week to not good this week. At least he made some nice plays in the field! | ||
Wilmer Flores, SS | Speaking of nice plays in the field, Flores actually made some of his own. Unfortunately, he still didn’t hit. | ||
Curtis Granderson, OF | While Travis d’Arnaud was the only good regular Mets hitter, Granderson was undoubtedly the worst. He hit .069/.129/.069 for a -43 wRC+. | ||
Juan Lagares, CF | Lagares wasn’t much better than Granderson. | ||
Daniel Murphy, 2B | I’m with 28 wRC+. | ||
Kirk Nieuwenhuis, OF | Nieuwenhuis rarely played but did not reach base in four trips to the plate. | ||
Anthony Recker, C | Though he slugged .571, Recker struck out too much and got on base at just a .143 clip in his limited playing time. | ||
Ruben Tejada, SS | He only had five plate appearances, but Tejada hit .500 with a .600 on-base percentage. Huzzah! | ||
David Wright, 3B | .286 average, alright. .348 on-base percentage, not bad. .286 slugging, sigh. | ||
Eric Young Jr., OF | Eric "328 wRC+ in 2 PA" Young Jr. |
