The Mets just finished a road trip in which they won the final seven games. Their hitting played a huge part in that, especially as they came back three times against the Nationals to effectively lock up the National League East.
Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Eric Campbell, IF | -- | He didn't make any plate appearances this week. | |
Yoenis Cespedes, OF | Matt Harvey said Cespedes is ready for his promotion to the next level of baseball, and that seems accurate. | ||
Michael Conforto, LF/1B | Coforto stayed hot and has continued to hit as well as even the most optimistic Mets fans could have expected. | ||
Michael Cuddyer, LF | He only made two plate appearances, but with two singles, he had a 2.000 OPS for the week. | ||
Travis d’Arnaud, C | He wasn’t quite as dominant a hitter as the week before, but d’Arnaud still did very well. | ||
Lucas Duda, 1B | Duda managed a .400 OBP in his return from the DL but didn’t hit much. | ||
Wilmer Flores, SS | Flores was a league-average hitter for the week. | ||
Curtis Granderson, RF | Granderson bounced back just fine from a down week and crushed it at the plate over the Mets’ seven-game winning streak. | ||
Kelly Johnson, 2B/OF | Johnson only had 12 plate appearances but hit .455/.500/1.091 in them. | ||
Juan Lagares, CF | He barely played, but he hit a ton when he did. | ||
Daniel Murphy, 2B/3B | Despite a huge, game-tying home run in the ninth inning yesterday, Murphy had a bad week with just a 57 wRC+. | ||
Kirk Nieuwenhuis, OF | The left-handed hitter raked in his part-time play and hit a huge pinch-hit home run. | ||
Kevin Plawecki, C | Plawecki had a very nice week, something he hasn’t done often as a hitter in his major league career thus far. | ||
Anthony Recker, C | -- | The catcher did not play. | |
Ruben Tejada, SS | Tejada was slightly below league average with his bat, but that’s not the end of the world for a shortstop. | ||
Juan Uribe, 3B | Like trade-mate Johnson, Uribe excelled in limited playing time. | ||
David Wright, 3B | Wright had a tough week at the plate, hitting just .182/.250/.318. | ||
Eric Young Jr., OF | Used exclusively as a pinch-runner, Young scored four runs on the week. |
