2 NY Mets players looking more like themselves for the best, 2 for the worst

The New York Mets' offense has been an anemic nightmare in 2026. New York entered Monday with the lowest run and RBI totals in MLB (92 and 86), the lowest OPS (.625), and the second-lowest home run total (20).

New York's OPS might be the most embarrassing figure, seeing as it's 31 percentage points lower than the second-worst OPS in MLB (Philadelphia Phillies: .656).

Can the Mets' offensive production possibly continue to be this bad? Who will step up to fix this, who isn't likely to? Here are two Mets bats that are showing signs of life recently, as well as two bats that are beginning to fall back to Earth after good starts to 2026.

2 Mets players who could be coming around offensively

Bo Bichette

Slowly but surely, Bichette's bat is beginning to warm up. His first five games as a Met were a disaster (2-for-22 with eight strikeouts), but he's grown more comfortable over the course of April, with a .266 batting average in the month.

Bichette still hasn't started slugging (just one homer so far), but he did have his first, big clutch moment in a Mets uniform on April 23, smacking a two-out, bases-clearing double to break a 7-7 tie with the Minnesota Twins in the bottom of the eighth inning at Citi Field.

Brett Baty

Baty went hitless in seven straight games between April 10 and April 18, dropping his batting average all the way down to .190. But he's been great since, slashing .316/.409/.526 over his last seven games with a homer and five RBI.

Baty's two RBI on April 24 represented half of New York's offensive output for the entire series against the Colorado Rockies. The Mets were swept at home by Colorado and outscored by a combined 10-4 over the three-game set.

2 Mets players who are declining back to the norm after a hot start

Mark Vientos

Vientos is slashing .143/.173/.204 with 15 strikeouts and just two walks over his last 15 games. He did go 3-for-11 in the Rockies series, which made him look like Albert Pujols compared to most of the Mets' other hitters throughout the pitiful sweep. But on the whole, Vientos has been looking like his old, strikeout-prone self again after starting the season hot (.476 average in his first seven games).

Luis Robert Jr.

Like Vientos, Robert had a good start to the season, but no one really trusted that either guy would sustain it, and that's already come true. Robert is 9-for-55 at the plate over the last 15 games (.164) with two RBI, five walks, and 12 strikeouts. But hey, at least he hasn't suffered a major injury yet!
