The New York Mets have struggled with their first base position this season, primarily due to injuries and poor performance from Jorge Polanco, Brett Baty, and Mark Vientos. Polanco, signed to a two-year deal, has been plagued by health issues, while Baty has shown inconsistency in both fielding and hitting. The trio has collectively produced the fourth-worst OPS among first basemen, a stark contrast to last year’s success with Pete Alonso. Manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledged the offensive shortcomings, noting that the team must rely on Baty and Vientos moving forward.
