During a spring training game against the Nationals, the New York Mets showcased their potential future lineup with Jorge Polanco at first base and Brett Baty in right field, despite a 7-4 loss. Both players are adapting to their new positions, with Baty adjusting to playing right field after primarily being a left fielder in the minors. Manager Carlos Mendoza noted their collaboration in improving footwork, while scouts remain skeptical about the team’s defensive adjustments. Baty’s performance included a homer, indicating positive development as they prepare for the regular season.
