The Mets mostly struggled terribly at the plate over the last ten games, but Lucas Duda did not.
As a team, the Mets were not good at hitting over the ten games since the All-Star break. They managed a .500 road trip despite that, of course, and for that, they can thank Lucas Duda.
| Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bobby Abreu, OF |  | | At some point, a long string of bad weeks might make Abreu a goner, right? He had a .308 OPS in this one. |
| Eric Campbell, 1B |  | | Everyone’s favorite can of soup put up a picket fence slash line: .111/.111/.111. |
| Travis d’Arnaud, C | | | While he wasn’t awful, d’Arnaud certainly didn’t hit the way he had been hitting before the break. |
| Lucas Duda, 1B |  | | One of the hottest hitters in baseball, Duda has hit four home runs and batted .286/.390/.657 over the last ten days. He has been the Mets’ best hitter this year. |
| Wilmer Flores | -- | | Brought back after Ruben Tejada was hit in the head with a fastball, Flores hit just .143/.143/.143 in two games. |
| Curtis Granderson, OF | | | After a fairly long stretch of very good production, Granderson was subpar at the plate over this week. |
| Juan Lagares, CF | | | The Mets had some concerns about Lagares’s bat coming into the season, but he started off fairly well. Over this week-plus, however, he hit just .094 with a .167 on-base percentage and zero extra-base hits. Yikes. |
| Daniel Murphy, 2B |  | | With a .723 OPS since the break, Murphy was neither great nor terrible. |
| Kirk Nieuwenhuis, OF | | | Hitless in 11 at-bats, Nieuwenhuis drew three walks but struck out seven times before he was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas. |
| Anthony Recker, C | | | Travis d’Arnaud might not have had a good week, but in two games, Recker hit zero across the board. |
| Ruben Tejada, SS | | | With a .136 average and .182 slugging percentage for the week, Tejada’s .345 OBP couldn’t save him from the red arrow here. |
| David Wright, 3B | | | Having looked good going into the break, Wright has struggled since, hitting just .211/.286/.211. |
| Chris Young, OF | | | Young’s .807 OPS rated well among his peers on the team, which might not be saying much here, but that level of production would be just fine from a left fielder in 2014. |
| Eric Young Jr., OF | | | Young struggled at the plate once again, though he at least drew a few walks. |
