As one of the top hitting prospects in the Mets farm system, Mark Vientos doesn’t have much experience pinch hitting.
Now that he’s on the major league roster in Queens, playing time is harder to come by — at least for now — so Vientos has had to figure out ways to be valuable. as he drove in a run by hammering a sacrifice fly to center in the bottom of the sixth inning to give the Mets some breathing room as they completed a sweep of their NL East rivals.
Mark Vientos returns to the dugout after hitting a sacrifice fly in the Mets’ win over the Phillies on June 1.Mets’ Max Scherzer infuriated rules didn’t allow full warmup: ‘Why do we have to be so anal’ Showalter went to Vientos to hit for Daniel Vogelbach and Vientos got Strahm to a full count before sending a shot to deep center.
“I felt like I hit it hard,’’ Vientos said. “I was talking to the ball to go over [Brandon Marsh’s] head [in center], but it got the job done.” Corey Sipkin for the NY Post
