Brett Baty hopes the success he achieved at the end of his season will carry him through to next season.

After a poor start to his MLB year, Baty had been reassigned back to Triple-A Syracuse and was working on adjustments at the plate.

They didn’t work for him, a bad track and bad habits in the batter’s box followed him to the minor leagues.

But in his final week as a healthy player, the infield prospect showed signs of returning to Queens.

In seven games in August, he went 9 for 25 (.360) with four walks, three home runs and an OPS of 1.248, which raised expectations for a September call-up – which didn’t happen because he was hit by a hitter on August 22 was hit with a blow that broke his left index finger.

The timing was terrible for a player who returned in time to play three more games with Syracuse in late September before joining the Mets’ taxi squad for the postseason, where he surrounded the club but wasn’t quite a part of it.

If Baty can’t contribute again this year, he hopes the tweaks he made at Syracuse late in the season will prepare him well for 2025.

“I felt like I just got back to my normal self,” Baty said of his hot stretch before the injury. “I felt like I was trying to do a few different things leading up to it and then I just thought, ‘Scratch that, I’m just going to get back to myself and swing at good pitches and try to set up the run.’ .” the ball and hit it to all fields and so on.

“During that span, I actually hit my first opponent home run of the year. So I thought, ‘Oh, now I’m myself again.'”

If Baty finds himself and unlocks the potential that has made him one of the better prospects in baseball, the Mets would have a big problem on their hands.

As Mark Vientos — the other top third base prospect who has transformed into a star and competed on the highest stages during a hot, groundbreaking season — before Game 5 of the NLCS on Friday at Citi Field against the Dodgers Standing at the podium, Baty took ground balls at third and second base.

Vientos has asserted himself as a hard-hitting corner infielder who has played serviceable third base this season and could do so again next year unless Pete Alonso hits free agency and the Mets decide to move Vientos over the to move the diamond.

Maybe then they would look for an established third baseman, or maybe they would have a competition between players like Baty and Ronny Mauricio next spring.

If Vientos keeps the third-string job, Baty believes it will give him another path to the majors.

With Vientos nailed down the major league gig at the hot corner, Baty played 27 games at second with Syracuse.

“I think the more I played in Triple-A, the more comfortable I became,” said Baty, who estimated he received the ball at second base eight to 10 times and launched another five double plays. “But I think that was the biggest thing, the double-play feeds and learning the feet.”

A first-round pick in 2019, Baty rocketed through the minors as a bat-first prospect, emerging in 2022 when he posted a .943 OPS with 22 home runs in 95 minor league games.

But ironically, it was his bat that needed work at the major league level.

Baty, the Opening Day third baseman this season, played solid defense but posted a .229 OPS with a .633 OPS in 50 major league games this year.

Baty is 24 and has a pedigree in figuring it out.

Hitting ground balls haunted him in the majors, and he hopes a minor league exposure can lead to major league results.

“I think it was just because: I was trying to tweak some things to get better at that level, and then that led to me developing bad habits down there,” Baty said. “And then I just kept doing these bad habits and bad habits, and it just went away on its own.

“But then I got back to who I think I can be and it showed.”
