The rookies took their best shot, but it wasn’t enough to earn them spots on the Mets’ Opening Day roster.
Overall, Baty has played 237 career games in the minor leagues.
“You learn by playing a lot,” Eppler said. “While [Baty] had a great camp and we are really excited about his future there are just some more development markers left for him to reach. He’ll go down and probably carry a lot that he consumed here and we are real excited about his future, the type of kid he is, what he does in the batter’s box, but also the strides he made defensively.
Eppler said it is possible either player could earn his way onto the major league roster this season without an injury to a starter.
