New York Mets Third Baseman David Wright Has Defensive Issues
After the three error ball game versus Atlanta a week ago, my confidence in David Wright at the hot corner has diminished dramatically. Every ball hit his way, I’m find myself praying that he can corral the ball, never-mind throwing accurately to first-base. The disturbing thing is that it’s a problem that can’t be fixed in the practice field, the only way to correct these mistakes is getting over the mental lapse and having confidence again in his ability. During warm-ups the team cannot duplicate the screaming shots coming towards Wright at third base. It’s not like popping up balls for the outfielders to catch or the slow rollers the other infielders get. Sure you can practice on charging the slow grounders or the bunts, but you can’t reenact the line shots that go down the third-base line.
