Luke Weaver and Brett Baty’s Silent Struggles: What Went Wrong in Mets’ Crucial Collapse Against Diamondbacks?

Injuries to Soto and possibly Jorge Polanco have forced Baty and Vientos into unfamiliar defensive territory, but Mendoza has been impressed with their adaptability.

The Mets‘ bullpen has been extra sharp to start the season, and Luke Weaver has been a big part of that.

Entering Thursday’s game against the Diamondbacks, Weaver had allowed just one hit and no walks across five scoreless innings. That would change at an inopportune time for the Mets.

After young right-hander Nolan McLean exited the game with a 1-0 lead and two runners on with one out, Weaver was called on to get out of the jam. Arizona catcher Gabriel Moreno stepped into the box as a pinch-hitter and got ahead 2-1 on Weaver. On the fourth pitch of the at-bat, Weaver threw a changeup that was down and away from the right-handed backstop, but Moreno went down and got the barrel of the bat on the ball.
