Some are concerned about how new Mets infielder Bo Bichette will handle the transition to the hot corner this season.
David Wright, though, is not one of them.
Wright certainly knows a thing or two about getting it done at the hot corner.
“If I could do it anybody could do it, it shouldn’t be that hard,” the former Mets captain joked. “But he can pick it and is such a great athlete -- I see it being a seamless transition.”
Bichette hasn’t played the position since travel ball has a teenager.
He spent some time at second base during the World Series last year with Toronto, but only had appeared as a shortstop or DH prior to that at the big-league level.
Still, Wright doesn’t think it’ll present an issue for the Mets.
In fact, after watching Bichette in those playoffs, Wright feels he is going to be another huge piece for this club with the abilities he can bring on the other side of the ball.
“The energy, the electricity, that confident swagger that he brings to a team,” Wright said. “And on top of that he’s a heckuva player -- so I think it’s a welcomed addition.”
Bichette rebounded nicely after a bit of a down 2024 campaign, finishing 16th in AL MVP voting after hitting .311 with 94 RBI and a .840 OPS over 139 games with the Jays.
He’ll look to carryover that production now hitting behind Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto.
