Marte, playing as a right fielder, has displayed outstanding fielding skills with a perfect fielding percentage of 1.0. But it's his performance at the plate that has truly impressed. In the first game, Marte showcased his hitting prowess with an average of .250 and an impressive on-base percentage (OBP) of .25. He also recorded a slugging percentage (SLG) of .5 and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of .75.


In the second game, Marte continued to shine with a batting average of .333 and an OBP of .6. His OPS soared to 0.933, thanks to his impressive slugging percentage of 0.333. Marte's contributions were crucial in helping the Mets put up a strong fight.


In the third game, Marte maintained his consistency with a batting average of .333 and an OBP of 0.5. His OPS remained high at 0.833, showcasing his ability to consistently make an impact on the game.


While Marte has been outstanding for the Mets, other players have also made significant contributions over the past three games. Brett Baty, playing as a third baseman for the Mets, displayed excellent fielding skills with a perfect fielding percentage of 1.0.


On the Tigers' side, Spencer Torkelson played as first baseman and showed promise with a perfect fielding percentage of 1.0 in the first game.


As we look ahead to the upcoming game, it is clear that Marte will be a key player to watch. His exceptional performance in the previous games suggests that he will continue to be a force to be reckoned with. However, the Tigers have also shown their strength, and players like Torkelson and Mark Canha have the potential to make a significant impact on the game.


The game is scheduled to take place at Citi Field in Flushing, Queens. Fans can catch all the action on BSDET. With both teams hungry for victory, this promises to be an exciting matchup that fans won't want to miss.
