Baty, red-hot in Minors, getting called up to Mets (report)

The Mets are planning to name up their No. 2 prospect, third baseman Brett Baty, in line with a report from SNY’s Andy Martino on Sunday. The group has not confirmed the news.

Baty, whom MLB Pipeline ranks because the No. 19 general prospect, has been on fireplace on the plate for Triple-A Syracuse, hitting .400 with 5 homers, two doubles and a 1.386 OPS in 9 video games. His potential callup has been the topic of a lot hypothesis as beginning Mets third baseman Eduardo Escobar entered Sunday hitting .114 with one homer and a .394 OPS in 13 video games.

Baty made his MLB debut final Aug. 17, memorably hitting a house run in his first at-bat. That proved to be the excessive level of his first stint within the Majors, as he sustained a torn UCL in his proper thumb that required surgical procedure and ended his season. In all, he hit .184/.244/.342 with two homers and 5 RBIs in 11 Major League video games.
