The Bo Bichette Experiment Is Already Failing Rickie Fowler [lcXNjMzk0hk]

The Mets gave Bo Bichette a big contract

and asked him to change positions

and right now?

None of it is working.

Welcome back to Mets Guy.

Lets start with the bat.

Bichette is hitting .217

with an los openda OPS just over .500.

Career numbers?

Around a .290 hitter

OPS near .800.

So this?

This is not normal.

And its not just bad luck.

The strikeouts are up.

The chase rate is high.

Hes swinging at pitches out of the zone

and not making strong contact when he does.

Thats how you end up with weak ground balls

and easy outs.

Now lets talk about the defense.

Because the Mets didnt just bring him in to hit.

They moved him to third base.

And that hasnt gone well either.

Throwing errors.

Timing issues.

Reaction problems.

Thats not surprising.

Third base is a completely different position.

Its faster.

Its more reaction-based.

And it requires a stronger, more accurate arm.

Bichettes arm?

Its fine.

Not great.

And at third base

fine becomes a problem.

So now youve got a player

who is struggling at the plate

and learning a new position on the fly

in New York

on a team that is losing every day.

Thats not an easy situation.

Daily Mets analysis, dry humor, and the occasional Yankees bragging.

Because the New York Mets stink.
