Fantasy Impact
Baty has heated up at the plate, picking up hits in three of his last four games. The infielder has opened the season as one of many frustrating options in the Mets lineup, batting .225 with one home run, 10 RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases across 22 games.

Brett Baty was scratched from the Mets’ starting lineup in Sunday’s game against the Giants.
Fantasy Impact

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Brett Baty will be "slow played" this spring.
Fantasy Impact
Baty had his right hamstring flare up two weeks ago. He is expected to be limited to first base reps to begin camp.
Brett Baty is expected to play multiple positions with the New York Mets in 2026, as reported by Jon Heyman. It seems as though most infield positions, as well as left field, will be on the table for Baty to get regular at bats in a super-utility role.
Fantasy Impact
Baty, who just turned 26 in November, enjoyed a bit of a breakout season last year as he batted .254 with 18 home runs and eight stolen bases in 130 games. With the signing of Bo Bichette, Baty seemingly is the odd man out from a regular starting job in the infield. As long as he isn't moved before the season opens, Baty could get a long look in left field in an attempt to keep his bat in the lineup. Baty did play 29 games in left field during his six seasons in the minors, so he does have a little experience there.
