🔥 The #Mets Need to Bring Back That Aggressive Style of Baseball One thing I've always loved about the José Reyes era was how exciting those Mets were whenever he reached base. You didn't necessarily need a three-run homer to manufacture offense. A walk, a stolen base, a productive groundout, and a sacrifice fly could put a run on the scoreboard. And while today's game has become increasingly focused on home runs and exit velocity, there's still tremendous value in speed and manufacturing runs. Especially in the postseason, when you're facing elite pitching and sometimes have to fight for every single run. I want opposing teams feeling uncomfortable from the very first pitch. I want catchers looking over their shoulders, pitchers rushing to the plate, and infielders knowing that even a routine ground ball could become a base hit. That's what A.J. Ewing has the potential to bring to this lineup. And with Andy Green managing the Mets in 2027, I hope this becomes part of the team's offensive identity. ⚾ Final Thoughts ⚾️ I'm not saying A.J. Ewing is going to become José Reyes overnight. Reyes developed into one of the most electrifying players in franchise history, and Ewing still has plenty of work to do offensively. But the physical tools are there. The speed is there. The defensive value is already there. And most importantly, the opportunity is there. The Mets have spent years relying heavily on power and hoping someone delivers the big hit. I'd like to see them become a team that can beat you in several different ways. Give me A.J. Ewing leading off, putting pressure on the defense, and giving Juan Soto, Bo Bichette, and yes, even Francisco Lindor opportunities to drive him home. Because sometimes the most exciting offensive weapon isn't the guy who hits the ball 450 feet. Sometimes it's the guy who turns a routine single into a scoring opportunity before the next hitter even sees his second pitch. A.J. Ewing should be the Mets' leadoff hitter in 2027. It's time to turn him loose! ⚡💙🧡 💬 Mets Junkies, what do you think? Is it time to move Francisco Lindor out of the leadoff spot and give A.J. Ewing the opportunity to become the next great Mets table-setter? • #MetsJunkies • #LFGM • #LGM • #MLB • #AJEwing • #FranciscoLindor • #JoseReyes •
