He is batting cleanup with the new Mets’ catcher Wilson Ramos following him out of the five hole. The Mets are expecting big things out of Michael Conforto this year. Brandon Nimmo will bat leadoff, which is expected to be the case nearly every day and Mickey Callaway follows through on his plan to bat Robinson Cano third, where he had the majority of his at-bats last season.
