The Mets bombarded the A's with ten runs on Tuesday night to begin the last week of play, but they were a little bit up and down from there. In total, the team hit .290/.330/.442 this week, good for a 119 wRC+ that was the third-best mark in baseball. Their 26 runs scored, however, ranked right in the middle of the pack at 15th.
Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Bobby Abreu, OF | ![]() |
![]() |
Abreu only made five trips to the plate and managed to get on base two of those times, once with a single and once by drawing a walk. |
Eric Campbell, 1B | ![]() |
![]() |
With regular playing time in David Wright’s place, Campbell hit kind of like David Wright with a .409/.409/.545 line for the week. |
Travis d’Arnaud, C | -- | ![]() |
Since his return from Vegas on Tuesday, d’Arnaud has hit .368/.400/.579 with a home run. That’s pretty, pretty good. |
Lucas Duda, 1B | ![]() |
![]() |
In twenty plate appearances, Duda simply raked, posting a .316/.350/.684 line with a .444 wOBA and 192 wRC+ for the week. |
Wilmer Flores, SS | ![]() |
![]() |
Flores had only two plate appearances this week before he was demoted to make space for Juan Lagares on the roster. |
Curtis Granderson, OF | ![]() |
![]() |
A great month came to a screeching halt with a miserable series in Pittsburgh. Granderson had just a .544 OPS on the week. |
Juan Lagares, CF | ![]() |
![]() |
Lagares finally came back, but his bat was missing. He had a .206 wOBA and 28 wRC+ in four games. |
Daniel Murphy, 2B | ![]() |
![]() |
With a .333 average, .333 on-base percentage, and. 407 slugging percentage, it was a perfectly cromulent week for a second baseman who epitomizes cromulence. |
Kirk Nieuwenhuis, OF | ![]() |
![]() |
Nieuwenhuis only made six trips to the plate—not a surprise given the Mets’ very crowded outfield—but did very well in them. |
Anthony Recker, C | ![]() |
![]() |
With a .600 OPS on the week, Recker wasn’t exactly great. |
Taylor Teagarden, C | ![]() |
![]() |
Placed on the disabled list when d’Arnaud returned, Teagarden might get another shot with the Mets if Recker does not produce by the time he is healthy. |
Ruben Tejada, SS | ![]() |
![]() |
Everyone’s favorite shortstop hit .348/.444/.348 for the week. That’s about as good as it gets for Tejada. |
David Wright, 3B | ![]() |
![]() |
Wright didn’t hit much in the three games he played, but his injury is far more concerning than a three-game sample of hitting stats. Let’s hope it really is as minor as his Saturday diagnosis says. |
Chris Young, OF | ![]() |
![]() |
Young only hit .200 on the week, but he slugged .800 for a staggering .600 isolated slugging. He did so by hitting three home runs, which gave him a .441 wOBA and 190 wRC+ for the week. |
Eric Young Jr., OF | ![]() |
![]() |
Like Tejada, Young was at his personal best this week, with a .333 average and .412 on-base percentage. Unlike Tejada, he managed a tiny bit of power with a .400 SLG. |
