Bo Bichette’s Struggles Deepen: Is His Confidence Crumbling After Mets Showdown?
In some ways, settling in will be more complicated. His six-week crash course on third base did not yield a finished product. He is handling reaction plays well, making stops and charging rollers with no signs of inexperience. But on plays that gave him time to set, his throws leaked up the first base line on multiple occasions, though only one resulted in an error.
“Front side, arm angle, footwork, there’s a lot there. It’s a completely different throw, and it’s new for him,” Mendoza said before the game. “He’s going to have to continue to get reps, which he has. I’m not worried about it because of the work ethic. It’s not going to be perfect, but he’s in a good place, but he’ll be out there right now working with our infield coaches.”
