Another Met who cannot be overlooked is Mark Vientos.

For the Reds, Terry "TJ" Friedl has emerged as a consistent performer. With an on-base percentage that highlights his ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities for his team, Friedl's contributions at center field could prove pivotal against a strong Mets lineup.
