Despite the Mets' outstanding weekend at the plate in Colorado, it was tough not to make this entire meter "DAVID WRIGHT" next to a smiley emoji. But we'll contain our excitement about that and enjoy the gaudy numbers the Mets put up while playing baseball on the moon.
Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Yoenis Cespedes, OF | ![]() |
![]() |
Cespedes had quite a week, the highlight of which was, of course, his monster night at Coors Field on Friday. He hit three home runs in that game, plus a single and a double, and stole a base while driving in seven runs. In total for the week, he hit .348/.423/.783 with a 227 wRC+. |
Michael Conforto, LF/1B | ![]() |
![]() |
The rookie was among the team’s better hitters this week, with a .357/.438/.643 line and one home run. His promotion and adjustment to playing in the big leagues has gone about as well as anyone could have reasonably hoped so far. |
Michael Cuddyer, LF | ![]() |
![]() |
Cuddyer hit .308 for the week but didn’t draw any walks and only slugged .385. |
Travis d’Arnaud, C | ![]() |
![]() |
With a .778 OPS for the week, d’Arnaud was hardly a slouch at the plate, but he didn’t quite partake in the run-scoring festival like many other Mets did. |
Lucas Duda, 1B | ![]() |
![]() |
Duda struggled a bit in the three games he played before hitting the disabled list with a back injury. Here’s hoping it’s just a short-term thing. |
Wilmer Flores, SS | ![]() |
![]() |
At .429/.455/.667, Flores was one of several Mets who put up video game numbers in Baltimore and Denver. |
Curtis Granderson, RF | ![]() |
![]() |
Cespedes might have had the best single game of the week—and the season and perhaps more than that, too—for the Mets, But Granderson had the better overall line at .391/.481/.783 with a couple of home runs and a 247 wRC+. He’d get a fireball, too, if he’d had a better previous week. |
Kelly Johnson, 2B/OF | ![]() |
![]() |
Johnson was one of the few Mets hitters that struggled at all, but by wRC+, his was the worst weak among them. |
Juan Lagares, CF | ![]() |
![]() |
In limited playing time, Lagares hit .400/.400/.500. He’s up to an 80 wRC+ on the season now, which might not sound like much but is a big step up from where he had been a few weeks ago. He’s been an outstanding hitter in August and a very good hitter against left-handed pitching on the season. |
Daniel Murphy, 2B/1B | ![]() |
![]() |
The notoriously-streaky infielder had one of his great weeks, with a .412/.400/.765 line. |
Anthony Recker, C | ![]() |
![]() |
He only played in one game but came out of the week with a 1.167 OPS. That’ll play. |
Ruben Tejada, SS | ![]() |
![]() |
Like Recker, Tejada only played in one game. But the shortstop had a 1.800 OPS in it! |
Juan Uribe, 3B | ![]() |
![]() |
Despite having just a .313 OBP, which is decent enough in its own right in 2015, Uribe guaranteed the up arrow with a .571 SLG. His role figures to be reduced now that the Mets’ captain is returning, but he should still see some starts at third and plenty of pinch hitting action. |
David Wright, 3B | ![]() |
![]() |
Ignore the images to the left, for David Wright returns tonight. TRAID! |
