2024 Fantasy Outlook
The 23-year old Baty had a tale of two seasons in that he absolutely raked in Triple-A Syracuse but struggled at the big league level. Baty had a .298/.388/.625 line in 121 plate appearances with Syracuse to force his way to the big league roster, but finished the season in Queens with a .212/.275/.323 line as other rookies around the league flourished. Baty handles fastballs well last season with a .283 xBA and six of his nine homers coming off the pitch, but a .151 xBA against breaking balls and a .239 xBA against offspeed pitches did him in as he saw those pitches 44% of the time from opposing pitchers. Facing lefties was mostly a mystery for him as he hit .176 with 29 strikeouts in 91 at bats while doing what damage he did against righties. Baty has the upside to be a better fantasy contributor than what he has shown thus far, but he will have to show that before he gets moved to the top half of the lineup. He is currently a liability at a position demanding production. Read Past Outlooks
Makes roster, everyday role possible
Baty was informed Sunday he has made the Mets' Opening Day roster, and he could begin the season as the club's everyday third baseman since Mark Vientos was optioned, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
A platoon at third base with Baty and Vientos seemed plausible after New York signed veteran slugger J.D. Martinez on Thursday, but Vientos will instead begin the campaign at Triple-A Syracuse. Baty posted a .212/.275/.323 slash line and 28.2 percent strikeout rate in 108 games last season, so he likely won't have a ton of job security if he continues to struggle in 2024.

Stat Review
How does Brett Baty compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Option for left field
Baty is an option to see starts in left field for the Mets, Will Sammon and Tim Britton of The Athletic report.
ANALYSIS
With the promotion of Mark Vientos and Gary Sanchez reportedly on the way, manager Buck Showalter will have some difficult lineup decisions to make on a daily basis. Baty is at the top of the depth chart at third base, but he has a bit of experience in left field in the minors and could see some starts there on occasion when Vientos is at the hot corner.

2020
Baty has long been an exit velocity darling and registered a 113 mph max EV (89th percentile) in just 31 MLB events during a brief cup of coffee after posting an elite 36.1 Hard% in the minors. His 24.8 K% at Double-A and Triple-A was fine for a 22-year-old slugger who also walked at an 11.7% clip. Hitting the ball hard and controlling the strike zone are major parts of the success equation for a 6-foot-3, 210-pound lefty slugger. The big question is whether he can get the ball in the air enough to maximize his power. When factoring in context, easily his best run as a pro was the 89 games he played last year at Double-A (160 wRC+), but that was also the only time he has logged a groundball rate below 51% (42.6%) above rookie ball. That run at Double-A accounted for 84% of his season, so we shouldn't read too much into his groundball rate spiking again at Triple-A and the majors, but it's undoubtedly the biggest stat to track with Baty in 2023. He tore a ligament in his right thumb at the end of August but should be ready for spring training. Eduardo Escobar is the incumbent at the hot corner, but between designated hitter (for Baty and Daniel Vogelbach) and second base (for Escobar and Luis Guillorme), there should be regular playing time available if he performs.
