Cristian Pache Impresses Mets with Elite Defense and Offensive Tools

Cristian Pache is making a strong case for himself in Mets camp, hitting 11-for-25 with three extra-base hits in 11 Grapefruit League games. While his future may lie in Triple-A Syracuse due to a crowded outfield, manager Carlos Mendoza praised his elite defensive ability and hard contact. Pache, who developed his defensive skills under the guidance of Andruw Jones, signed a minor league deal in December and continues to impress the coaching staff with his tools.
