Editor's Note: For the remainder of the regular season, Mets360 will be a free site, one open to everyone. They’ve been a membership site since January of 2021 and will be so once again in October. So, if you like the Mets and great Mets analysis, check out the site for the next two months.
By Brian Joura:
If we didn’t know it beforehand, one thing that 2022 drove home without a doubt is that MLB players don’t perform within a short range of production over the entire season. Instead, they have peaks and valleys and there’s no limit to either the number or the height of those streaks. Two players were very similar last year, in that they weren’t very special most of the season but then they enjoyed a six-week hot streak which made their year-long numbers look good. Those two were Mark Canha and Eduardo Escobar.
We saw the six-week hot streak again this year with Tommy Pham. Since the end of his streak, Pham has a .157/.295/.235 line in 61 PA, which includes an 0-3 in his first game with the Rangers. Pham’s streak came at an opportune time for the Mets, as it allowed them to trade him near the height of his value.
