Tom Brennan - SS Wyatt Young - and Best Mets' Hitting Catcher

"Add Picture Here"

I like it when rookie ball level players get promoted because MILB.com's stats page adds their picture - ohh, THAT'S what he looks like.  Look it up yourself - I'm not gonna add it (Mack might, though - he's like that).

For those of you who despise everything Russian these days, you probably also don't like rushin' young ballplayers, either.

But the Mets drafted smallish Wyatt Young in the 15th round last year.  The 5'7" 160 Young promptly hit .370 in 92 at bats in the FCL last year, good enough for me to take note last year.  Even if not a large body of work

Well, seems that Wyatt must be turning some heads.  Why, you say?  He has been starting at SS 

 - for Syracuse lately - which is AAA - which is 4 levels above FCL.  WHAT??

Boy, he must be in WAY over his head.  Well....maybe not. Actually...

Wyatt's been in five Syracuse games and had 5 hits and 6 walks, good for a .550 on base %.

With those ABs, he now has 120 minor league career at bats.

So...from this (mostly) retired writer....who only wants to write when he sees something out of the ordinary...

KUDOS TO WYATT YOUNG.  

Some guys are like rushin' dressing - they pour it on.


Question: 

Who is the Mets' best hitting catcher?  Well, if you're thinking about McCann and Nido, it is a choice between least bat, since the two are combined 6 for 44.

Best hitting Mets' catcher, right now?  Francisco Alvarez, who slugged a double last night that would have been a long HR in any other park but the Boston AA one that has a Green Monster fence in LF.
