213 Miles From Shea: Get To Know A Non-Roster Invitee: Brandon Drury

 


Brandon Drury was a January depth signing for the Mets who spent a good portion of this off-season trying to rebuild out depth. Drury was drafted by the Braves in 2010 and was traded with Nick Ahmed, Martin Prado and others for to the Diamondbacks in January 2013 for Chris Johnson and Justin Upton. Drury would make his major league debut with the Diamondbacks in 2015. In 2018 he was part of a three team trade between the Diamondbacks, Yankees and Rays (he ended up with the Yankees). He was traded again (lots of trades!) in a deadline deal to the Blue Jays for J.A. Happ.

So from that part alone – Brandon has dealt with New York before, has dealt a lot with being dealt and just change in general.

Over his career he has hit .248/.296/.411 with his best season being in 2016 and his worst season in 2020. At his best he hit .282/.329/.438 over 461 PA’s. At his worst he hit .152/.184/.174 in 49 PA’s. His career stats are skewed to his time in Arizona where he was much more successful and got over 480 PA’s in back to back seasons. Since then he’s struggled.

Drury needs to hit .300+ in AAA to get back to the big leagues. His 2018-20 were offensively awful.
