Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Jorge Polanco signed a 2-year, $40M deal with the Mets to play first base but has struggled significantly. Through 14 games, he batted .179 with 1 HR and 2 RBIs while striking out 11 times. He has been dealing with Achilles bursitis since Opening Weekend and a right wrist contusion, landing him on the IL. As of May 7, he was not close to a rehab assignment. His contact quality metrics are poor with a 33.3% hard-hit rate (lowest since 2019), only 2 barrels on 45 batted balls, and average exit velocity of 87.3 mph (down 3.5 mph from career average). Manager Carlos Mendoza indicated some improvement with baseball activity and wrist in "good place," but recovery timeline remains unclear.
