Mark Vientos’ presence at third base was noticeable on Wednesday, but for the wrong reason.
The rookie, in just his third start at the position this season for the Mets — and his first since he was recalled last weekend from Triple-A Syracuse — committed a throwing error that led to an unearned run and was questionable in his judgment on another play that may have hindered his team in aVientos fielded Oswald Peraza’s grounder behind third base and threw to second too late in an attempt to force out Anthony Volpe.
An out on the play might have kept the Yankees from scoring a second run in the inning: Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s sacrifice fly, which would have been the third out if Vientos had retired anyone on the grounder, put the Mets in a 2-0 hole.In the fourth inning, Vientos fielded Bader’s slow grounder leading off the inning and threw the ball away.The run was unearned for Jose Quintana.
Vientos’ chances of sticking with the Mets long term, would be enhanced by showing improvement at third base.Vientos also plays first base, a position on which Pete Alonso has a stranglehold. Manager Buck Showalter became more comfortable with Vientos’ defense as spring training progressed, but Baty was regarded as the better prospect at the position.
