The Mets’ offense had one hell of a week, capping things off with a 17-run performance against the lowly Phillies on Sunday. After getting off to a bit of a slow start with an average of just 3.33 runs scored per game against the Braves in a three-game series, the Mets beat up on the Phillies with 44 runs in four games. At a total 54 runs, they scored the most runs of any team in baseball for the week, and their 126 wRC+ over that span ranked fourth-best in the game.

Player | 9/12-18 | 9/19-25 | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Jay Bruce, OF | ![]() |
![]() |
ALERT: Jay Bruce had a good week. |
Asdrubal Cabrera, SS | ![]() |
![]() |
Cabrera just keeps hitting. This week, he hit three home runs with a .370/.452/.741 line. That he’s been so great while playing through a knee injury is pretty remarkable. |
Eric Campbell, IF | -- | ![]() |
Campbell drove in four runs, scored a run, and had a 166 wRC+. Not too shabby. |
Gavin Cecchini, IF | ![]() |
![]() |
Cecchini went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored. He didn’t play all that much, but hey, his .500/.600/1.000 line was the best on the team for the week. |
Yoenis Cespedes, OF | ![]() |
![]() |
Cespedes got on base at a .355 clip, which is pretty good, but was just about league average as a hitter for the week. |
Michael Conforto, OF | ![]() |
![]() |
Conforto got 16 plate appearances for the week and took full advantage of them. He hit a home run and had a 229 wRC+. Here’s hoping he can continue to rake the rest of the way—and command playing time commensurate with that production. |
Travis d’Arnaud, C | ![]() |
![]() |
It wasn’t d’Arnaud’s worst week, as he had a .333 OBP, but it still wasn’t a great one, either. |
Alejandro De Aza, OF | ![]() |
![]() |
De Aza didn’t play much but struck out a bunch when he did and finished the week with a .000/.111/.000 line. |
Lucas Duda, 1B | ![]() |
![]() |
Duda made nine trips to the plate. He hit .250/.333/.375 in them. It’d still be ideal for him to see regular playing time the rest of the regular season to prepare him as much as possible for a potential postseason run. |
Wilmer Flores, IF | ![]() |
![]() |
Flores’s wrist injury hasn’t improved and he may not return in the regular season. |
Curtis Granderson, OF | ![]() |
![]() |
With two more home runs and a 175 wRC+ for the week, Granderson continued his great month. He has hit .237/.344/.605 with a 148 wRC+ in September, his best month of the 2016 season by quite a bit. |
Kelly Johnson, IF | ![]() |
![]() |
Johnson didn’t play a ton, but he went just 1-for-7 with a single and no walks. |
Ty Kelly, IF | ![]() |
![]() |
Like many of the Mets’ bench players, Kelly raked in limited playing time. |
Juan Lagares, CF | ![]() |
![]() |
Lagares was sent up to bunt in his lone plate appearance, and while he might not have done a great job of bunting, he reached base on a Phillies error. |
James Loney, 1B | ![]() |
![]() |
Loney had a 68 wRC+ for the week. |
Brandon Nimmo, OF | ![]() |
![]() |
Nimmo got to the plate nine times thanks to a few wacky games between the Mets and Phillies. He hit really well when he played, too: .429/.556/.571. |
Kevin Plawecki, C | -- | ![]() |
Plawecki went 0-for-2 for the week. |
Jose Reyes, IF | ![]() |
![]() |
Reyes’s overall stats for the week don’t jump off the page—see his 109 wRC+—but he hit a home run that kept the Mets alive in their multiple-comeback win over the Phillies that helped him wind up with the green arrow. |
Matt Reynolds, IF | ![]() |
![]() |
Reynolds went 0-for-1. |
T.J. Rivera, IF | ![]() |
![]() |
Rivera played a ton and had a great week in the process. He hit .409/.423/.545 with a home run and seven runs batted in. |
Rene Rivera, C | ![]() |
![]() |
Rivera hit a home run and had a pretty good all-around week at the plate. |
