00:00Lo and behold, over the past 24 hours, David Stearns finally decided to be proactive about
00:04something, and that was calling up their high-flying 21-year-old infield outfield prospect.
00:09So, the New York Mets have been in dire need of a jolt in their lineup and looking for
00:12someone who can actually provide that multi-tool aspect.
00:15Because while Carson Bench has been looking really good the past couple weeks, he's been
00:20banging well over 300 the past north of 10 games now.
00:22He's slapping the baseball either opposite field, which he has typically done, or pulling
00:26the baseball to right.
00:27He's stealing bags.
00:28He's looking like a web gem, whether he's playing center, right, or left.
00:32There's a lot to love about Carson Bench, and the Mets' philosophy and viewpoint on Carson
00:36Bench now holds true with A.J.
00:38Ewing, because after seeing Robert, knowing he's not going to return anytime soon, according
00:41to Mets president David Stearns speaking to the media this past day, lo and behold, A.J.
00:46Ewing gets the call.
00:46He gets the leash.
00:47He's in the Mets' lineup in their opening game against the Tigers at home, batting eighth,
00:52and what did he look like?
00:53Oh, yeah, casually the best hitter in the Mets' lineup, and that is not an exaggeration.
00:57This is the same A.J. Ewing in just under 30 games in the minor league so far this year,
01:01has 17 stolen bases.
01:03So there's a great likelihood that you're going to see A.J.
01:05Ewing completely change the complexion of the dynamic on how the Mets are base running
01:09this year.
01:10Between himself, towards the bottom of the order, and Carson Bench, who was batting leadoff,
01:13who looked very good with a nice multi-ed game, including an RBI for the Mets this past day.
01:17That kind of dynamic duo in this Mets outfield, paired with the one and only Juan Soto, can
01:22only bode well for this Mets team, given one, how low the bar has been this year, and two,
01:27how dire they've been in need of young players to provide jolts, both offensively, defensively,
01:31and with a base running.
