The New York Mets' 2024 season showcased the impressive rise of third baseman Mark Vientos, who made a significant impact in both the regular season and playoffs. In his postseason debut, he set a franchise record with 14 RBIs, boasting a .327 batting average and five home runs in 13 games.

Initially not on the Opening Day roster, Vientos took over as a starter in late May and delivered a strong performance throughout the season. Despite the team's elimination in the NLCS, he expressed pride in his accomplishments and eagerness for the future.
