The 2024 New York Mets have overachieved this season, making the case for the team to re sign several of their productive stars this offseason. Here’s a look at 3 players who met expectations this season.
Everyone loves the guy who can play hero, making it in the toughest city to make it happen in.
Many players adore a player who dons the uniform and makes the Home Run Derby a true competition, when he shows true emotion and passion for the matchup.
Many can respect the underdog who defies the odds and exceeds expectations, staring adversity down and tackling it head on.
It’s safe to say SS Francisco Lindor, 30, has been the guy playing hero, stepping up every single time and getting the job done both offensively and defensively. What’s unspoken a lot is his leadership qualities that go unnoticed. When you make such an impact offensively,people tend to forget that the positive qualities and energy you have in the clubhouse is also vital to the team’s success.
It’s no secret that the fans wish 1B Pete Alonso to return with a lifetime contract. Where the years may be a contemplating thing for both Steve Cohen, billionaire team owner, and Scott Boras, Agent, there’s obviously a mutual respect for Alonso, 29, who is a 4x All-Star, 2x Home Run Derby Champion and the 2019 NL Rookie of the Year award winner.
DH/3B Mark Vientos, 24, was presumably headed out of New York after the signing of DH JD Martinez, 36. While Vientos outplayed the man who was potentially going to replace him, this earned the respect of Mets faithful everywhere, who fell in love with the sophomore and the way he swung the bat.
To put things into perspective, the team needed all of their stars to pull through, and these 3 Mets have done just that and more. It’s a win win when players with high expectations and even those potentially with not so much expected can prove you wrong in the end.
