With Ronny Mauricio and Brett Baty coming off the bench, Saturday was Mark Vientos’ turn to run with the Mets’ prospect baton and wreck opposing pitching.
“Swaggy V,” as the clubbies have dubbed him, demolished a pair of home runs and became the latest promising young Mets hitter to make noise.“Finally,” Vientos said after his first two dingers of the spring. “I was messing around with Brett and Ronnie the other day. I was like, ‘You guys got some, I gotta get me one.’ I finally got two today.”
Vientos, a corner infielder who also is getting his feet wet in the outfield, had gotten off to a slow start before he crushed three of the five hardest-hit balls of the game in a 15-4 win over the Marlins at Roger Dean Stadium.Mark Vientos hit a pair of homers in the Mets’ spring training game against the Marlins on March 4.Against lefty Jesus Luzardo, the righty-hitting Vientos smacked a 107.7-mph single up the middle in the first inning.
