All have been against righties. We find it a little bizarre that the one game Baty started in this stretch came with Clay Holmes on the mound, given that he’s the one guy you’d certainly want supported by your best infield defense. Tylor Megill is pitching today. Baty has started four of the Mets’ seven games and is thus far 1-for-14 at the plate.

This would seem to be one of the better nights for Baty to play, given that the Mets are going up against a tough righty (Sandy Alcantara) and they have a strikeout pitcher on the mound in Kodai Senga. One imagines Acuña will get the nod on Wednesday, since it definitely makes sense to have his glove in play with Clay Holmes pitching.

We saw Luisangel Acuña draw the start on Opening Day against an opposing left-hander and now Baty is in there with Hunter Brown toeing the slab for the Astros on Friday night. It seems like this will be a straight platoon situation with Baty getting the strong side of the at-bats there, making him an interesting middle infield option in deeper mixed leagues for the time being.

Baty earned the job with a strong showing in the Grapefruit League; one that reminded that he’s not long removed from being one of the top prospects in the sport. Hayden Senger, Max Kranick and Huascar Brázoban have also been informed they’ll make the team, with those roster moves becoming official Thursday. Baty is worth keeping an eye on in redraft leagues.
