New York Mets infielder Brett Baty is in the midst of a breakout campaign. He had always shown good bat speed in the Major Leagues. Between 2023 and 2024, his bat speed clocked in at 74.6 MPH, well above the MLB average of 71.5 MPH. That lines up with the improvements in whiff rate Baty has made. He’s doing all of that while maintaining the same sort of raw power and bat speed we knew he had as a prospect.
