The Mets have been two different teams this year depending on the availability of their 22-year-old catcher, who's drawn inspiration from a certain Yankees superstar.
NEW YORK — The Mets' 16-8 record this past month was their best June since the 1990 club went 21-7. The way they played in June had not even been close to being replicated since the Mets went 18-8 in the same month of 2010. If the Mets keep this up, Grimace might just be throwing out the first pitch of the 2024 World Series.
Since June 11, his batting average , on-base percentage , slugging and OPS all rank in the top 10 in the majors. His 93.7 average exit velocity is second among catchers and 19th overall. All of these statistics become even more impressive when remembering that June 11 is the day Álvarez came off the injured list after tearing ligaments in his left thumb.
