Mets Season in Review: Lucas Duda

How’d he fare in 2016?
Duda not only struggled offensively in the short time frame he played last season, but he also failed to get on base. Staying healthy was a whole other issue in itself.
Leading up to landing on the disabled list early on in the season, Duda was hitting a weak .238 to go along with a .297 on-base percentage in 39 games played.
At the time the organization announced Duda’s injury, it was uncertain whether Duda would be out for the remainder of the season. Because of this uncertainty, GM Sandy Alderson wasted little time to fill the void left by Duda’s injury and acquired veteran James Loney from the San Diego Padres for cash considerations.
Despite having a setback during rehab in August, Duda was able to be reactivated in September but was limited to a bench role for the rest of the season.
