The New York Mets reporter, Anthony DiComo announced yesterday, that the Mets are calling up Mark Vientos. This is due to Starling Marte being placed on the IL. Mark Vientos is the New York Mets No. 6 prospect, and he's an INF.
Mark Vientos has been raking in Triple-A with the Syracuse Mets. His slashline is, .307/.386/.614, to go along with that, he's launched 16 HR's, 50 RBI's, and a outstanding 1.000 OPS. If Vientos could give any sort of production like that in the MLB, it'd be huge for the Mets.
Mark Vientos is just 23 years old. He has a lot of time to improve at the MLB level. It's unknown how long Vientos will be up with the Mets, but if he can produce with his time, it'll certainly show a lot. The Mets are 45-51, and in 4th place in the NL East. The Mets will take any boost that they can get.
