Daniel Vogelbach is hardly the only Mets player with underwhelming numbers, but he understands the nature of the beast.
— especially home runs — in a job that demands offensive proficiency and little else, the Mets designated hitter has become a lightning rod of sorts to the fan base of a team that has struggled to find consistency this season.
“Everybody is kind of going through it at the same time it feels like,” Vogelbach said. “Pete and Nimmo have been pretty consistent, but there’s a lot of really good hitters right now in our lineup that — I don’t want to say they are searching — but it just hasn’t gone the way they want it to go.” “Sometimes you run through periods in the major leagues where the matchups just aren’t there,” Showalter said. “Sometimes it’s … history or projections and all the tools that come across my desk about projecting things. We’re all somehow trying to predict the future in a very unpredictable game.”
Data can be deceiving, especially in small sample sizes, which means digging deep in search of the right answers.
