Mets bench coach Eric Chavez, a winner of six Gold Gloves at third base believes Brett Baty “absolutely” will be a major league third baseman.
PORT ST. LUCIE — Eric Chavez, a winner of six Gold Gloves at third base believes Brett Baty “absolutely” will be a major league third baseman.whose bat has looked more advanced than his defenseChavez remembers when the “all hit, no glove” label was attached to him in his early years with the Athletics after he debuted at age 20.
As Chavez watches Baty’s ups and downs through a camp in which the 23-year-old is crushing pitches and too often booting grounders, he believes he has seen this before — and seen the same work ethic.Corey Sipkin for NY Post Baty, who started at third base in the exhibition, will get plenty of spring time with Eduardo Escobar playing with Team Venezuela. In 11 Grapefruit League games, Baty has gone 9-for-21 with a home run and double, showing the powerful bat that got its first taste of the majors last season. The most interesting battle in camp is at third base, though the veteran Escobar is the heavy favorite.
“I think it’s just depth perception and seeing the ball all the way in [to the glove],” said Baty, who has been leaning on Chavez for advice — and Mets transactional updates — for months.
