4/19/24 Zack Short faces limited playing time after achieving dream of making Mets' roster. Zack Short realized a dream when he was named to the Mets' Opening Day roster, but sometimes your dreams don't turn out exactly how you imagined. A local kid out of Hurley who played college baseball at Sacred Heart, the utility infielder grew up rooting for the Mets thanks to his dad, hoping someday he could play for his favorite team. Entering Friday, he's played in eight of the Mets' 18 games, making only three starts, all of them at third base. With the Mets currently carrying two utility infielders, Short and Joey Wendle, and Brett Baty playing his best baseball yet, playing time can be hard to come by.
