Luisangel Acuña's impressive start to the MLB season has been a surprise, forcing his way into the New York Mets' lineup. His performance through roughly 20% of the season has been key for the Mets.
Acuña boasts an impressive .298/.355/.369 slash line and has already stolen eight bases. His recent form is even more remarkable, with a .343 batting average and .810 OPS over his last 21 games, along with seven more stolen bases.
Acuña's strong performance has made it difficult for Mets manager Carlos Mendoza to remove him from the starting lineup, even with the return of Jeff McNeil from the injured list.
PHOENIX — Luisangel Acuña was hardly a sure thing for the major league roster this season even late into spring training, but through roughly 20 percent of the team’s schedule he has been among the most important Mets players.
Already a National League Rookie of the Month winner this season, the energetic infielder entered Monday with a .298/.355/.369 slash line and eight stolen bases.
Over his past 21 games he was batting .343 with an .810 OPS and seven stolen bases.
Numbers of that magnitude have made it difficult for manager Carlos Mendoza to remove Acuña from the lineup, even with Jeff McNeil’s return from the injured list over the past 10 days.
