Mark Vientos is the Mets main man right now

PHILADELPHIA — Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso are the biggest names, and biggest stars, on the team from Queens.They are 1 and 1A on your list of orange-and-blue luminaries.But the kid Mark Vientos is the main man now.

Of that there is no denying, and no doubt.The kid who always thought and said he could rake is doing it up big on the biggest stage.And if he had just a little more help, the Mets would be heading home in a commanding position instead of tied at one game apiece after Philly’s rousing 7-6 walk-off victory Sunday.Vientos hit a pair of book-end two-run homers, including one to tie things in the ninth.

He also doubled and walked in his five plate appearances that carried the potential to be labeled an all-time great Mets performance if only the Mets had hung on.Vientos provided the best of the Mets’ daily late-game heroics, but this time the Phillies beat the Mets at their own game, staging three late-game rallies to even the Division Series.Vientos — the kid who was demoted to Syracuse not once but twice this year and never complained — feels unstoppable right now.

He is the best thing the Mets have going for them now.“I’m focused.I’m focused on getting the job done and doing whatever I can to help the team,” Vientos said.There’s no question who the Phillies (and any other teams in their October future) should be planning against.

That is Vientos, the young man with the magic bat, who looks like he may have the potential to carry the Mets deep into October.Other hitters were having trouble seeing through the shadows early in these first two games, with both played in twilight.Not this kid, who must possess super vision.Moments have the potential to overwhelm kids at this time, but he’s making them his own.

Vientos looks like he relishes the spotlight.That’s the best kind of player to have in New York.Give an assist to excellent Phillies manager Rob Thomson on Vientos’ second dinger.
