Brett Baty's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Met third baseman Brett Baty (finger) is likely done for the rest of the 2024 season after breaking his left index finger while playing in the minors. Baty had a chance to be part of the team's September roster at the big-league level by the end of his week, but instead he's out four to six weeks with an injury he suffered on Sunday. It's highly disappointing for the 24-year-old left-handed hitter, who had a .997 OPS in his last 12 games for Triple-A Syracuse. Not that Baty would have cut into the playing time of Mark Vientos at third base in the Big Apple to close the 2024 season, but it's pretty much official that he won't be an option now for the Mets to close out the year. The former 12th overall pick in 2019 was sent to Syracuse earlier this year after hitting just .229/.306/.327 with 42 strikeouts in 50 games at the major-league level. Baty's fantasy stock going into 2025 has never been lower.

New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty has enjoyed a nice power surge over the past week at Triple-A Syracuse. Across his past six games, the former top prospect has gone deep three times while boasting a .565 SLG. Overall, since being demoted to Triple-A, Baty has held a solid .250/.352/.505 line with 14 home runs and 39 RBI through 52 games. Earlier this season in the majors, the former 12th-overall pick posted a mere .229/.306/.327 line with just four home runs. Baty has yet to turn the corner in the big leagues over the past few seasons, but his production at Triple-A this summer could suggest he may have begun to make the necessary adjustments. Baty could be worth a flier in deeper leagues if he rejoins the Mets during the stretch run.

New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty has performed exceptionally well through June at Triple-A Syracuse and could be nearing a return to the major leagues. Since June 1, the former first-round selection holds a .367/.407/.755 slash line with five long balls, 16 RBI, and a 3:6 BB:K ratio. In addition, Baty has begun to log starts at the keystone, which he has never done before in his professional career. This is a good sign that the Mets value his bat and want to him to return to the majors as soon as possible. Jose Iglesias has served as the primary second baseman in Queens for now as Jeff McNeil has struggled throughout the early part of the season. Baty is worth a look in deeper redraft leagues once he rejoins the Mets, as he should gain second-base eligibility.
