Observations from Mets spring training Thursday:
Bo’s arts building
Bo Bichette has long been one of the best bat-to-ball hitters in the game, and the veteran infielder is proving that regardless of what position he plays, he will produce at the plate.
He had two more hits Thursday in a 7-4 loss to Washington at Ballpark of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Not that Severino
Anderson Severino, a lefty who spent the past two years pitching in Mexico and is trying to get back to the majors for the first time since 2022, allowed four runs in ²/₃ of an inning.
Caught my eye
Cristian Pache plays center field well enough to be an everyday player, but his bat hasn’t produced.
He ran down a ball in left-center that proved he’s able to get to just about anything in the gaps.
Friday’s schedule
Sean Manaea will be the next pitcher to make his Grapefruit League debut Friday when the Mets visit the Marlins under the lights at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Fla., at 7:10 p.m.
