2024 Fantasy Outlook
Vientos earned a promotion to the big club in mid-May following a monster start to the season at Triple-A Syracuse. He struggled to replicate the success with the Mets, as he banged out nine home runs over 233 plate appearances but also posted a .620 OPS while striking out at a 30.5 percent clip. Vientos has fanned at a 27 percent rate during his time at Double- and Triple-A, so we probably can't count on much of an improvement with his strikeout rate in 2024. He did also draw walks at a 10.1 percent rate during those stops in the minors, so the 4.3 percent rate he had with the Mets could tick up. Ultimately, Vientos is likely to go as far as his power will take him, and he did collect a robust 51 percent hard-hit rate and 10.7 percent barrel rate. The 24-year-old could only have designated hitter eligibility initially in your fantasy league, and that spot might be his clearest path to playing time with the Mets. Read Past Outlooks
Fails to make Opening Day roster
The Mets optioned Vientos to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Vientos looked as though he might begin the season as the Mets' top designated hitter in the short term while the newly signed J.D. Martinez completed his ramp-up program, but Mets manager Carlos Mendoza may prefer to take a committee approach to the DH spot until Martinez is ready to go. As a result, Vientos won't join the Mets for Opening Day, while the team instead reserves its final backup spot for infielder Zack Short, who offers more defensive versatility than Vientos. The 24-year-old Vientos should still be at the top of the list for a call-up if the Mets lose starting corner infielders Pete Alonso or Brett Baty or Martinez to an injury at any point in 2024.

A solid season with Triple-A Syracuse earned Vientos his first major league callup in September. He posted a .885 OPS in 101 games on the farm but slipped to a .546 mark in 15 games with the big club. Power is Vientos best asset, though he'll have to overcome a strikeout rate just under 30% for it to manifest. When he makes contact, it's often in the air and usually hard hit. A third baseman by trade, Vientos has also dabbled at first base and left field. His clearest path to playing time could be as designated hitter, though there is an outside chance he can sneak in at the hot corner. Vientos is an intriguing speculative play as a late rounder in draft and hold formats. Note, in most leagues, he'll begin the season only eligible at utility since he served as designated hitter 11 times as opposed to just two games at third base.
