Infield Fun Fact

Benjamin Grimm Jul 06 2016 03:22 PM

Wilmer Flores has started at least one game at each infield position this season. This is the 14th time in Mets history that any player has done that. There was a long gap between the first time (Ed Bressoud in 1966) and the second (Jeff McKnight in 1992). Bressoud and Justin Turner (2012) are the only players who have started as many as five games at each position in a single season.

Surprised Wilmer only has one start at short so far. Also surprised that Tatis didn't pull the trick off.

Kelly Johnson is quite the Swiss Army knife. He did all 4 positions in only 2 months in 2015.
