Bo Bichette's Mets Debut: Struggles & Support

It's March 29th.

This is New York Metz News today, powered by AI, your team, your update.

Boba Shet just joined the Metz on a three-year, $126 million deal after shining for seven

seasons with the Blue Jays.

There, fans cheered his All-Star runs and near-world series push, but in Queens, booze

hit him after just two games, getting louder by Game 3.

He gets it, owning his rough start at the plate.

These stats show the struggle.

One hit in 14 at bats, striking out over half the time way up from last year.

His first game had a sacrifice fly and tough at bats, but multiple whists per game piled

up quick in 15 plate appearances.

Fans and pressure kicked in fast since he signed, Bishet admits.

He wanted a big introductory moment for teammates and the crowd, but that mindset threw off his

swing right away.

Shifting from shortstop to third base brings some defensive hiccups, though nothing

game-breaking yet.

Team mate Francisco Lindor, who bombed early after his own huge contract here, backs

him strong, calling Bishet one of the best hitters around.

Lindor knows the rebound path and Bishet heads to the batting cage before facing the

cardinals.

With team support locked in, expect those booze to fade as he settles into Metz's life.
