The Mets can hit…sometimes

The Mets bats are fairing pretty well so far, even though you wouldn’t figure that out by listening to sports radio and reading some blogs. 

Check out these stats from Josh over at Jorge Says No!…

As of last night's game against the Cardinals, each position player on the Mets was hitting at least .300 with the exception of Ramon Castro (and Castro only has 20 at bats this season). Think about that: the Mets entire infield and outfield is hitting at least .300 right now. Crazy.
Proof:

  1. Reyes - .339
  2. Murphy - .320
  3. Wright - .306
  4. Delgado - .300
  5. Beltran - .354
  6. Church - .350
  7. Castro - .150
  8. Castillo - .400

I know it's only 13 games into the season, but this is still very, very impressive. And somewhat weird.

Too bad these aren’t the Mets numbers with runners in scoring position.

(Ed. note: I changed up the table a little.  It will appear differently on Josh’s site)
