This rising star on the New York Mets was listed among the most improved players in 2024.
Mark Vientos began the regular season in the minor leagues, but was recalled in mid-May to claim the third base job after Brett Baty faltered again. It's safe to say that he has run with the opportunity.
However, he has looked like a potential franchise cornerstone for the Mets this season and is now a key contributor in their everyday lineup. Playing in 81 games, the 24-year-old is hitting an impressive .278/.334/.549 with a .883 OPS, 20 homers and 54 RBIs. Vientos was initially expected to be the Mets' DH this year, but the team signed veteran slugger J.D. Martinez to a one-year, $12 million deal at the eleventh hour of spring training.
