Luis Robert Jr. has started the season with a strong start, with a walk-off home run in the 11th inning that highlighted his potential. The center fielder has been working with the Mets' hitting department since he was acquired from the White Sox and has shown progress. His swing decision to take an off-speed pitch below the zone during a game against Pirates was also a microcosm of his progress. Robert's focus on limiting chase, whiffs and strikeouts has been a focus within the Mets organization. Despite his struggles with chase and strikeouts, Robert's ability to perform well in the game still leads to results. The team is working closely to ensure Robert stays on the field while maintaining regular rest.
