Semien Hits First Spring Homer, Adjusts Swing for Mets Infield Role

Mets second baseman Marcus Semien, acquired from Texas, hit his first spring home run in a 5-0 win over the Astros on Feb 26, going 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI. Manager Carlos Mendoza noted adjustments to Semien's posture to improve his swing path. Semien is focused on solidifying the revamped infield and returning to his 2023 hitting form, while also building chemistry with Francisco Lindor, who is nearing a return to fielding drills.
