Playing a full season of professional baseball is no joke. It’s a six-month marathon that can feel like a slog. To break out of a funk, sometimes all a player needs is one specific spark to get them going again. Did the New York Post report from earlier this month about Mets prospect Ronny Mauricio do that for him?
It certainly looks like it.
In what’s been a disappointing year for the Mets, many players/prospects have been called upon from Triple-A. That includes top prospects such as Brett Baty, Francisco Alvarez, and Mark Vientos. Mauricio has constantly been on the outside looking in, despite several bogus reports of his MLB promotion being imminent.
