Bo Bichette aims to meet the NY Mets’ standards in pursuit of the World Series

While Bo Bichette revealed that as a youngster he did not imagine being at this stage of his career with the New York Mets, now as one of the great figures in Queens he promises to maintain the standard of this historic franchise to return to the World Series.

“My whole life, I always dreamed of playing on the biggest stages. I don’t necessarily think I thought it would be New York as a child. I thought of it as the World Series and things like that,” he revealed via Will Sammon.

“But when you get in the big leagues and see the level, the standard that the city holds both teams to, it’s exciting for me. I hold myself to the same standards. Those attitudes line up.”

Back in the spotlight

Led by manager Carlos Mendoza and a roster full of elite talent, the New York Mets are determined to reclaim their glory and return to the World Series.
