Brett Baty Hits Two-Run Homer Amid Defensive Position Carousel

Baty is expanding his defensive versatility this spring, debuting in right field while continuing to learn first base. In a 7-4 loss to the Nationals, he went 1-for-3 with an opposite-field two-run home run. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised his confidence and maturity as he rotates positions to keep his bat in the lineup. Baty is working closely with teammate Jorge Polanco to refine footwork and comfort at his new defensive assignments as he competes for a roster spot.
