Overview
- Pache agreed to a minor-league contract and will attend major league camp as a non-roster invitee.
- The 27-year-old was once a consensus top-15 prospect and is known for plus-plus defense in center field.
- His major league bat has lagged, with a .181/.243/.275 line and a 30.8% strikeout rate over 610 plate appearances.
- He spent 2025 with Triple-A Reno, posting a .251/.351/.389 line that graded about 20% below league average by wRC+.
- He has no minor-league options remaining, so any promotion would require him to stick on the roster or be designated for assignment as the Mets sort out center-field roles after recent departures.
