The final "we don't know why you're here, but we need to fill a roster spot" guy, succeeding Ben Gamel and Pablo Reyes.

Pinch-ran and scored the eventual winning run on a wild pitch and passed ball in his first appearance. Pretty nice way to debut for a team in a post-season dogfight.
Ultimately appeared in 12 games, ten of them Mets wins. That's got to be as lofty a winning percentage as there be for somebody not named Terrance Gore.
