Mets’ Ronny Mauricio builds off strong finish to season with homer in Winter Ball debut

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio made an immediate impact in his Winter League debut, delivering a powerful two-run homer off a second-pitch offering in the sixth inning for the Tigres del Lacey. The blast, measured at 112 mph exit velocity and landing 441 feet into the right-field bleachers, highlighted his continued offensive resurgence after a season marked by injuries and time in Triple-A.

Mauricio, who had homered three times in the Mets’ final two regular-season games, went 1-for-4 in his first at-bat of the offseason, reinforcing his potential as a key contributor for a team with limited minor-league options ahead of spring training. The 25-year-old’s strong showing underscores his role in the Mets’ competitive push for a roster spot in 2027, following a late-season recall that reignited his offensive production.
