The New York Mets are struggling significantly with hitting in clutch situations, specifically runners in scoring position. Hitting coach Eric Chavez is taking a proactive approach to address the team's ongoing performance issues, especially after a troubling stretch where they hit only .188 in their last 24 games in these situations. Chavez emphasizes the importance of recognizing their potential as hitters and confronting their struggles directly. Players like Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor are among those underperforming, adding urgency to the need for improvement as the team faces the last-place White Sox.
We're talking about it today. It's been bad. We all know that. We're not gonna hide from it. We're not running from it. We've got to turn it around.
It's not good enough. We're better hitters than what we've shown in those spots. We need to own that and we'll see how it goes.
We've just got to get the job done. It hasn't happened enough.
The Mets hitting coach said he was going into the meeting with an open mind and no specific demands of the hitters.
