New York Mets rookie A. J. Ewing undergoes reset amid offensive slump

New York Mets interim manager Andy Green recently implemented a “48-hour reset” for rookie center fielder A. J. Ewing to address a significant offensive slump. Ewing, who saw his OPS drop from .805 in his first 55 games to .494 over a subsequent 44-game stretch, was briefly benched to allow him to observe the game and regain confidence.

During a recent game against the San Francisco Giants, Ewing showed signs of recovery by hitting a two-run home run. Despite the struggles, the Mets organization appears committed to allowing their young players to navigate professional challenges, viewing these experiences as essential for their long-term development as cornerstones of the team.
