Read: Wright’s September Production
In his most recent The Starting 9 column for ESPN.com, Jerry Crasnick takes a look at the nine players who are poised to carry their team during the season’s final month.
Among those listed by Crasnick, include Mets 3B David Wright, who is a career .324 hitter with a .939 OPS during the month of September.
Crasnick credits Wright’s performance and leadership during the team’s collapse last season, writing:
“Wright put up monster numbers in September (six homers, 20 RBIs and a 1.034 OPS), and won points for standing at his locker and answering the hard questions during the team’s late meltdown. In New York’s 8-7 loss to the Phillies on Tuesday, Wright stayed in the game despite a mashed right hand and spent most of the 13th inning flexing his fingers. He’s just built that way.”
