Swaggy V Plays Angry

Mark Vientos likes to play angry. “I want to win. … I am confident. … I play the game hard. … If I’m not the best player out there, I want to believe that I am. And I feel like I use a lot of my anger out on the field to my advantage. I feel like I’m intense during the game, like I’m not how I am mellow right now that we’re having a conversation.” Vientos got his first hit and his first RBI on September 15 as his pinch hit single in the 4th inning helped the Mets to a 7-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at home.
