NEW MET - OF Zach Borenstein



The Mets have signed corner outfielder, Zach Borenstein, to a minor league contract.

Borenstein was a 23rd round draft pick in 2011, out of East Illinois Univ., by the Los Angeles Angels.

He has played the last three seasons for Arizona. Last year, at AAA-Reno (PCL), he hit: 384-AB, .279/.353/.573, with an OPS of 926 and 24-HRs and 91-RBIs (remember... this was only 384 at bats)

He was granted free agency on November 7th.

A lefty hitting Travis Taijeron, it appears. Similar #s and strikeouts...and age. Couldn't hurt.

Call him the Hebrew Hammer ?

ST invite?

His RBIs look impressive, but this team hit .290 in 2017 and led the PCL in scoring, so he certainly had tons of opportunities.

AAA roster filler. Is Taijeron gone, or on the Vegas roster?
