Ronny Mauricio Blasts Homer in Winter Ball Return After 2024 Injury

Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio, 24, made his 2025 Dominican winter league debut for Tigres del Licey, launching a 401-foot homer in his second at-bat. This marks his first winter ball appearance since a 2023 knee injury and surgery sidelined him for 2024. Mauricio, who finished 1-for-5 with two strikeouts, slashed .226/.293/.369 with a .662 OPS, 6 HR, and 10 RBI in 61 games in 2025. He aims to secure a Mets roster spot this spring, potentially competing with Brett Baty, or could be traded this offseason.
