The first installment of this year’s Subway Series will look a little different as both sides are dealing with some injuries and sporting some new faces.
Nevertheless, there will still be some big names on the field this weekend, like Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger for the Yankees and Juan Soto for the Mets.
On top of that, the Mets will also have two rookies, who have taken the team by storm over the past week in Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing, play in the weekend’s festivities for the first time in their careers.
Not only have Benge and Ewing never played in a Subway Series before, which can be said about a couple of other first-time Mets, but they’ve also never faced the Yankees before and are excited for the opportunity to take on the crosstown rivals.
“I’ve been told that it’s really exciting and that the atmosphere in here is a lot of fun and I’m just excited to play,” Ewing said, fresh off his incredible first series in the big leagues.
“I feel like I expect a lot of fans. A lot of fans and some fun baseball to be played,” Benge added. “... They’re one of the better teams in the league so to be able to go out there and compete is always fun.”
While Benge has been with the club since Opening Day, Ewing was promoted at the beginning of the week and his arrival spurred a series sweep of the Detroit Tigers with the Mets’ offense, scuffling all year at that point, scoring 22 runs in three games.
They enter Friday’s weekend series winners of three out of their last four series played.
