The New York Mets are enjoying a strong spring training with no major injuries and several players stepping up for roster spots. Top prospect Carson Venge is batting over 400 with plenty of heart contact, making him a sure bet for right field on opening day. Brett Beatty has also impressed, looking more at ease at first base than anyone expected, which should mean steady playing time for him.

The Mets optioned him to triple A on Tuesday, amid deep outfield options like Juan Soto, Luis Robert Jr., Tyrone Taylor, Ben J., and Mike Talkman.
