MIAMI — Brett Baty finished strong last season, leading to optimism within the Mets that he had finally arrived as a player. However, for much of this year, the 26-year-old utility player appeared lost at the plate. Recently, Baty has surged late in the season, reminding team officials of his value. He entered Wednesday with an .814 OPS and seven home runs over his last 38 games, dating back to July 10. This included a 426-foot home run he hit Tuesday, during a game where the Mets homered three times against Sandy Alcantara. "I have a standard and I didn’t play to that standard early," Baty said before departing with left knee pain after running to first base on an RBI single in the second inning of the Mets’ 15-14 victory over the Marlins. "I know what kind of player I can be, no matter what position I am playing. I am just trying to be that player."
