That's grown-man power. He's making a case for himself to make the Opening Day roster as the team's DH.Last season, the Mets platooned Daniel Voglebach and Darin Ruf at the position. It didn't go as well as they would have liked. Ruf struggled mightily last season, barely being productive. The team went into Spring Training with the DH position open.&quot;Gunning for that DH spot,&quot; one fan tweeted.DerrickPoolNation@Dee_jayxcv@mikemayer22 Gunning for that DH spot5@mikemayer22 Gunning for that DH spot&quot;Just absolutely tattooed the ball,&quot; another fan said.Nick Clements@NickCActor@SNYtv @BallySportsFL Just absolutely tattooed the ball@SNYtv @BallySportsFL Just absolutely tattooed the ballNight Stranger@NightStranger22@SNYtv @BallySportsFL Our future is bright.@SNYtv @BallySportsFL Our future is bright.ᴷᴿᵞᵀᴬᴷᴸᴵ ᵃᵏ𝐥𝐚¡мｄ@KrytakliAklaimd@SNYtv @BallySportsFL Vientos, Baty, and Mauricio making a case to make the team.2@SNYtv @BallySportsFL Vientos, Baty, and Mauricio making a case to make the team.New York Mets fans couldn't be happier with the production the team is getting from its prospects.

If they keep playing like this, the Mets won't have any other choice.Watch out for the New York Mets this seasonWild Card Series - San Diego Padres v New York Mets - Game OneThe New York Mets had a fantastic season, finishing 101-61 last year. It was their best season since 1986. Normally this is enough to win the division, but the Atlanta Braves held the tiebreaker over them.They didn't want the same thing happening again this year. They made some upgrades over the winter. Their biggest move was signing reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander.The Mets are going to have one of the most complete pitching rotations in the league. They have Verlander and Max Scherzer at the forefront, followed by Japanese flame-thrower Kodai Senga. The starting rotation is then followed by Jose Quintana and Carlos Carrasco.They didn't stop at their starting rotation, either. They bolstered their bullpen by signing Adam Ottavino and David Roberston. They'll be the perfect set-up men for Edwin Diaz, who the team re-signed this winter.There may be some low-scoring games in the Big Apple this season.
