The Mets might have a worthy successor to David Wright at Brett Baty

Part 4 in the series about the Mets top prospect.

It wasn’t until after David Wright’s career was finished or nearing the conclusion that the Mets were serious about finding their third baseman who grew up at home.

At Brett Baty, the organization might have found a replacement. Baty, chosen by the Mets in the first round of last year’s draft (12th overall) from Lake Travis High in Austin, Texas, brought strong left-handed bats and strong throwing arms to the equation. He entered the year considered among the prospects of the top-four position of the Mets, joining shortstop Ronny Mauricio and Andres Gimenez, and catcher Francisco Alvarez.

Two years before Baty’s formulation – with which Wright would have difficulty returning from an injury that weakened his career – the Mets used their second round pick at Mark Vientos, a shortstop that struck electricity that shifted to third base and spent last season at Low-A Columbia.

Baty spent most of last summer at Kingsport Rookie level, and in 52 games had a slash of 0.234 / .368 / .452 with seven homers and 33 RBI. Baty finished the season playing five games for Brooklyn Class-A as Typhoon chased the playoff spot. In the postseason, he is 3-for-9 (0.333) on a plate.

Registered at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, there was concern last season about Baty’s mobility around third base, but the appearance of the 20-year-old when he arrived at camp this spring might have strengthened his stock.

“He found himself in extraordinary condition and that always impressed me,” said a Mets talent evaluator. “You are out of season and someone says, ‘Hey, look, make sure you are in good condition next spring,’ and this kid comes in and he loses 15 pounds and he looks better and moves better and those things impressed me.

“A handsome bat, a very good swing and he’s another man, you have to let him play. He will catch up, he has good skills, great presence. “

From the Mets perspective, Baty would ideally arrive in the premier league in 2023 or 2024. That would coincide with Robinson Cano’s contract which expires, possibly allowing Jeff McNeil to play a full-time full-time basis, with Amed Rosario, Mauricio, or Gimenez on the shortstop. McNeil’s flexibility can also place it in the field.

Baty arrived last summer as part of a strong Mets draft class that included pitchers Josh Wolf and Matthew Allan in the second and third rounds, respectively. Allan was considered a first-round talent, but slipped on the draft for fear he would sign. Baty is the second third baseman chosen in last year’s draft, behind Josh Tech from Texas Tech.

“[Baty] “Having an impressive punch-zone discipline and doing an excellent job pitcher came to him,” Mets executive director of player development Jared Banner said in an email. “He has an impressive raw power that allows him to push the ball out of the ball in all fields.”

Baty’s athleticism only adds to his intrigue. Three sports that stand out in high school, he can sink basketball and in football are recruited by Division I schools as quarterbacks.

“He’s a high-quality kid with an impressive work ethic and competitiveness,” Banner said. “He set a good example for his teammates.”

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
