Bo Bichette started his Mets tenure 1-for-14 with eight strikeouts and faced boos at Citi Field as he adjusts to a new position and team pressure.
- On Sunday, New York Mets third baseman Bo Bichette heard boos from the Citi Field crowd after striking out in a 4-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- Through his first three games, Bichette recorded eight strikeouts and just one hit in 14 at-bats after signing a three-year, $126 million contract, admitting he felt pressure to have "a moment" for his new team.

- Teammate Francisco Lindor expressed confidence, stating, "He's going to come through more than he fails," while Bichette successfully converted 11 of 12 defensive chances during his position transition.
