For years, Luis Guillorme was passed over. His opportunities were — at best — limited.
Higher draft picks and more experienced players were given the benefit of the doubt ahead of the slick-fielding and versatile infielder.
That, however, seems to be a mistake the current Mets hierarchy is not repeating. Guillorme has become a valued member of the club, particularly essential of late amid minor injuries to Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil. Put in the leadoff spot on Saturday and Sunday against the Phillies, he reached base six of a possible eight times, contributing to those wins in a major way.
“Yes, I’ve gotten more consistent at-bats, but also there’s still been times when I go two, three days without an at-bat. Just being able to consistently repeat my swing, whether it’s back-to-back days, whether it’s two days in between, coming off the bench, it doesn’t matter. I feel every time I step to the plate, I feel comfortable. I don’t feel lost. … Right now, every time I go up there, I feel really good and ready to hit.
“When I was in Venezuela I had this room with four walls and I would just throw balls to the wall as far and hard as I could and just try to react,” Guillorme said. “I’ve always had good hand-eye [coordination]. I think that just made it a little better.”
