Bichette's Slump: Mets Fans Worry

On March 30, Boba Schett just inked a $126 million deal with the New York Metz, but man,

he's struggling hard out the gate, and his first 15 played appearances, he's got just

one hit and a whopping 8 strikeouts.

That's over 53% whiffing the ball, his worst stretch ever.

Never in his career has he fanned 8 times over 15 trips or even in 3 straight games.

Closest was 8Ks across 4 games and 17 at bats.

This early slump stands out big time since it hits right at the season start.

Metz fans are side eyeing this hard because they're shelling out 42 million bucks a year

for him to mash in the heart of the lineup.

First impressions matter, and right now, he's not making contact like the star we know.

Thing is, Bechette's always been a pure hitter with strikeout rates under 24% every

full season.

In this swing and miss era, he bucks the trend by putting the ball in play.

Keep watching though, this feels like a fluke, he'll snap out of soon, getting back

to raking and justifying that bag for the Metz.
