Cedric Mullins Navigating Early Struggles with New York Mets

New York Mets outfielder Cedric Mullins has had a challenging start since his recent trade from the Orioles, recording only one hit in his first 17 at-bats (.059). Manager Carlos Mendoza believes his timing at the plate is currently off and expects him to improve with consistent at-bats and adjustments. Mullins has had a streaky 2025 campaign, hitting .290 with 10 extra-base hits in July, but only .156 in June, contributing to his meager .221 season average.
