Mark Vientos's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos got the scoring going for the Mets in Friday's 6-4 win over the Reds with a two-run home run in the first inning, then finished it off with a two-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning. It was part of a 3-for-5 day at the plate, giving him four multi-hit games in his last five and eight of his last 13. The former second-round draft pick has gone into full breakout mode in 2024 since he arrived for good in May, slashing .289/.342/.563 with 20 doubles, 24 home runs, and 62 RBI in just 91 games. Despite being a zero in the stolen base department, he's greatly increased his fantasy stock for 2025.

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez, third baseman Mark Vientos and outfielder Harrison Bader are all retreating to the bench for Thursday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Luis Torrens is doing the catching and batting ninth, Jose Iglesias is at the hot corner and hitting seventh, and Brandon Nimmo is in center field and batting third against D-backs right-hander Ryne Nelson. Nimmo is obviously the most attractive DFS play of the trio in the three-hole and he has two hits in four career at-bats against Nelson. Alvarez has hits in both of his last two games, but he could use a break after going just 2-for-24 with 10 strikeouts in his last eight games since Aug. 20. Vientos has taken advantage of Brett Baty's continued disappointment to post his first 20-homer season in 2024. Bader will get some rest despite homering in each of the last two games.

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos went yard twice on Thursday, but it wasn't enough for a win in the loss to the visiting Oakland Athletics at Citi Field. Vientos extended the Mets' lead to 3-0 with a two-run home run off A's right-hander Mitch Spence to right-center field in the third inning, later giving New York a temporary 6-4 lead with a solo homer in the fourth frame on Thursday against Oakland. The 24-year-old hard-hitting corner infielder has blossomed into a massive power threat in Queens during 2024, slashing a robust .275/.333/.557 with 19 home runs, 17 doubles, and 48 RBI through 262 at-bats.
