Mauricio up on Friday

[roger_that]

I haven't been this excited about a rookie callup since Lastings Milledge.

[ashie62]

Promising for 2024

[MFS62]

He is one of a few Mets rookies to have had multiple hits in each of their first two games.

IIRC, Greg Goosen is on that list.

Later

Milledge: first 9 games, .300 BA, .667 SLG, 9 hits, 8 RBI in 32 plate appearances.

[Edgy MD]

Keith Miller hit in his first seven games and 11 of his first 12.



Then he got optioned back to Tidewater, which I guess gives an idea of the offensive depth of the Mets in 1987.

[roger_that]

The weird one, that I have to keep looking up periodically to remind myself it's true, is Strawberry's miserable first 40 games: .180 BA, .562 OPS, 51 K. And ended up with ROTY. Similar body type to Mauricio.



On Edit: hadda change OBP to OPS--.562 OBP is great, .562 OPS sucks.

[whippoorwill]

I remember the scared deer look in his eye

[Centerfield]

I haven't seen all of his ABs. Maybe not even half. But I don't recall Ronny getting into a 3 ball count. Much less walking.

You don't walk off the island
