Bo Bichette’s 2026 Season With the Mets So Far
In 126 games with the Mets so far this season, Bichette has recorded 12 home runs, 63 RBI, and a .268 batting average. This is after he posted 18 home runs, 94 RBI, and a .311 batting average in 139 games for the Toronto Blue Jays this past season. With that, he has struggled to find his top form during his first season with the Mets.
Although this is the case, he has been hot as of late. He is entering this game on a six-game hitting streak and will be looking to build on it with another solid performance against the Padres from here. It will be interesting to see if switching to the third spot in New York’s lineup leads to him having another good game from here.
