Jonathan Araúz went 1-for-3 in his Mets debut last night, so he’s at .333 for a batting average, which puts him ahead of D.J. Stewart (.261, 6-for-23) with the highest batting average among active Mets. Michael Perez is 4-for-7 (.571) but in the minors now, while Tommy Pham (.268) got traded. Among qualified hitters, defending National League batting champion Jeff McNeil is tied with Brandon Nimmo at .256.
The Mets are hitting .239 as a team, with a .319 on-base percentage. It’s absolutely as bad as it sounds.
