It is difficult for a major league player to establish himself. Many careers end in the minor leagues as only 26 players can be on a major league roster. Other players may have a "cup of coffee" meaning a brief appearance in the major leagues.
Brett Baty only appeared in 50 games for the Mets last season as he lost his job as a third baseman to Mark Vientos. He spent most of last season at AAA Syracuse. He had a hot spring training as reported in this article from MLB.com. He is expected to make the Mets' roster and be a backup infielder. As you can see in the photo above Lee and I met him at Amazin' Day at Citi Field in January. He was very friendly to us. Let's hope he does well and sticks with the team.
