Observations from Monday’s Mets practice:
In the House
Hitting coach Chili Davis was a familiar site behind the cage during batting practice. Davis worked remotely from Arizona last season because of COVID-19 concerns.
Back Again
Former Mets owner Fred Wilpon visited camp over the weekend with his successor, Steve Cohen. Wilpon, still a minority stakeholder in the team, is expected to make additional visits to camp this spring.
Caught My Eye
The Mets practiced bunt plays, with fielders rotating. Luis Rojas is preparing for bunts, with it possible pitchers will return to batting in the National League this season.
Tuesday’s schedule
Full-squad workouts continue in Port St. Lucie, Fla., with live batting practice added.
