READING, Pa. — One of the many disappointing aspects of this Mets season has been the play of Marcus Semien, who has looked like, well, a 35-year-old second baseman on the decline.
One of the few encouraging aspects of the organization’s farm system this season has been the play of a middle infielder who is beginning to show the Mets might already have an eventual replacement in the system.
A year removed from being their first-round pick, Mitch Voit has started to emerge as a terrific athlete who is proving himself up the middle defensively and with a bat that is taking steps.
Those steps led to Double-A Binghamton, which is where Voit was promoted Monday after a strong stretch with High-A Brooklyn.
