Things to Improve Upon

‘Twas small sample size for sure, but just off the top of my head from having watched him, he could improve that average by basically copying what made T.J. Rivera so successful out of the gate: get the barrel of the bat to the ball. Sounds simple, but obviously it is not.

A .241 average in limited time is nothing to be ashamed of in his first lick of the majors, and his versatility certainly saved the Mets and gave them a chance to get to the end of August within striking distance.

Raise that average and keep getting on base any way you can, and you have yourself an above average bat off the bench.
