Story summary

Mets prospect Chris Suero is having a difficult season at Double-A Binghamton, but he's still managing to contribute to his team. Despite a low batting average of .201, Suero has a high on-base percentage (OBP) of .346, which means he's getting on base regularly due in part to his ability to walk. This is particularly notable because Suero's focus has been on improving his hitting, and he's been "tweaking his swing" to try and increase his average. He recently expressed his goal of reaching a higher level of performance, saying "I'm trying to get to where I want to be" at the plate.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

🔮 The emergence of Jared Young “is real,” David Stearns contended Friday, which further suggests the Mets will plan to retain the reliable first base/DH type who plays enough defense and is capable against righty pitching.
🔮 There are reasons for the Mets — who would have their first-round draft selection docked 10 picks if it falls outside of the top six — to disregard the results of games during a September in which playoffs are out of reach.
🔮 At Citi Field on Friday was a team that had been dismantled at the trade deadline, clearly a shell of the postseason threat it aspired to be and a club that might not mind the losses mounting considering the draft implications.
