The New York Mets aim to improve their performance as June begins, focusing on infielder Bo Bichette following a challenging start to the season. Bichette's batting average stands at.219 with a.583 OPS, disappointing figures for a player promised to deliver more after signing a three-year, $126 million contract. Although he has struggled defensively, his recent offensive signs, including three home runs against the Nationals, suggest potential for improvement. The Mets have a record of 26-33, finishing May with a 15-12 record, and hope Bichette can regain his form to help shift their season trajectory.
