Hernandez emphasized the importance of confidence and timing on the base, which resonated with Polanco, who is transitioning to the position after limited experience. Polanco is performing well this spring with a 1.013 OPS and is excited to be part of a strong Mets lineup as they approach the season opener against the Pirates. Manager Carlos Mendoza noted Polanco’s smooth transition and effective communication on the field.
