Singleton Could Be Key for Mets
Ken Singleton, a 23-year-old switch hitter at 6-foot-4, is eyed as a core piece to boost the Mets offense alongside strong pitching. He must prove himself from both sides of the plate to win a regular job, amid questions at right field and third base competition. The 1970 Mets featured elite pitching but weak batting, and Hodges seeks consistency from relievers and more run support to challenge Pittsburgh again.
