The New York Mets have had a brutal start to the 2026 MLB season, currently sitting at 13-22 ahead of Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies . The Mets have already dug themselves quite a hole in the NL East, and although injuries have played a big role, the fanbase's patience with the team is quickly growing thin.

One of the few Mets who has performed well this year is third baseman Mark Vientos , who has been on a hot streak over the last few games to help New York slowly but surely get into the win column with a bit more consistency.

Recently, Vientos got 100% real on his surge at the plate.

"I feel good," Vientos said, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. "I just want to keep on it and keep putting good at-bats together."

The strong play has come after what was a disastrous 2025 season for Vientos on the heels of his breakout 2024 campaign.

"We've seen it," manager Carlos Mendoza said. "We haven't seen that in a while, but when he gets hot, man, he can carry a team."

Vientos also spoke on his growing role on the team amid the influx of injuries for the Mets.

"The injuries for sure suck. I'm not too happy about those," Vientos said. "I just feel like if I trust my process and my routine throughout the season, eventually I'm going to come through and I'm going to do my thing."

The Mets have won three out of their last four games in order to make up a bit of ground in the standings, but the team still has a monumental task ahead of them in order to get to competitive status in the NL.

New York will next hit the field on Wednesday night vs the Rockies.
