Jeff McNeil’s season ended unceremoniously. He and the Mets hope his next season will begin uneventfully, too. The Mets’ second baseman is done for the season after being placed on the injured list…
Jeff McNeil suffered the injury on this play on Sept. 11 against Jordan Lawlar and the Diamondbacks.His batting average fell from .326 to .270, but .270 represents a large improvement from where he sat for most of his first half.
“I think, out of the six-month season, four of them were pretty solid, and two of them kind of held me down,” said McNeil, who bounced back to hit .303 with seven home runs over his final 52 games., playing every position apart from third base, catcher and pitcher.When his bat was not helping, he tried to help elsewhere, but the toll he placed on his body likely hurt him.
“Been grinding through it basically all year. I’ve always had something,” said McNeil, whose final injury arrived Sept. 11. Former Met Tommy Pham retrieved the ball and threw to second, where McNeil slid in with his left arm raised.
