Mark Vientos allowed himself a moment to look back at a season that hit rock bottom before it began and proceeded to ascend to the clouds.
PHILADELPHIA — After eight days of playing nine total games, the Mets rested before the division series.
“It’s crazy because I think was the first day I kind of like sat back and thought about what I’m doing,” Vientos said before the Mets and Phillies began the NLDS at Citizens Bank Park. “Because when you’re in it, you don’t really look at it. You don’t even sit back and be like, ‘Oh, man.’ It’s like, all right, next, let’s keep winning, next at-bat, next pitch, next play.
Back in spring training, the Mets officially signed J.D. Martinez on March 23, which essentially ended Vientos’ bid at a major league job.A player bent on proving himself in the majors after 81 MLB games the past two seasons, in which he did not hit much, would begin the year with Triple-A Syracuse.
