Bo Bichette’s Struggles Deepen: Is His Confidence Crumbling After Mets Showdown?

Normal, Bichette said, might take some work, at the plate and in the field. He said he started imagining his first big moment as a Met the second he signed, but “didn’t anticipate it would affect the way I played.”

Asked if he thought heading to St. Louis and San Francisco would help ease the pressure, Bichette offered a wry smile.

“Maybe,” he said. “But I’ve gotta figure out how to hit here anyway, so…”

Bichette is right, of course. But what stands out is his willingness to say so. Struggling players often insist they took good swings or swung at good pitches, that they were happy with their approach or are so close to a hot streak. But nothing speaks to confidence like candor. Perhaps Bichette is right to stop chasing his Mets moment. Strange as it sounds, he might have just had one.
