The Mets outfielder set a career high in doubles and hit-by-pitches last season, and now has sights on bolstering his production in another category.
PORT ST. LUCIE — Mark Canha set a career high in doubles and hit-by-pitches last season, and now has sights on bolstering his production in another category.
Canha hit 13 homers in 542 plate appearances last season. A year earlier with Oakland he hit 17 homers in 625 plate appearances. His career high for homers in a season is 26, which he established in 497 plate appearances in 2019. “The later on in your career I am getting older and I’ve made a little bit more money now so I feel like I have more money to spend on this kind of stuff,” Canha said. “Early on in your career, it’s kind of a makeshift situation and now I’m like, ‘Let’s really go for this kind of thing.’ That stuff costs money.”
“I want to do well and keep my career going and you could say it’s a big year for me personally,” Canha said. “I am always methodical and work and everything, but this year it’s really go for it with the training and not leave any stone unturned.”Corey Sipkin for the NY PostCanha said team expectations remain high.
