Early life and amateur career


Vientos' father was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New York where he became a fan of the New York Mets. As a result, Vientos grew up as a fan of the Mets.[1]

Vientos spent his first three years of high school at Charles W. Flanagan High School in Pembroke Pines, Florida.[2] In 2016, as a junior, he hit .321.[3] That summer, he played in the Perfect Game All-American Classic at Petco Park.[4] He transferred to American Heritage School in Plantation, Florida for his senior year in 2017.[5] As a senior, he hit .417 over 26 games.[6] After the season, he was selected by the New York Mets in the second round (59th overall) of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft.[7][8] Vientos signed with the Mets for $1.5 million, forgoing his commitment to play college baseball at the University of Miami.[9]


Professional career


After signing with the Mets, Vientos made his professional debut with the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Mets before being promoted to the Kingsport Mets of the Rookie-level Appalachian League. Over 51 games between the two clubs, he batted .262 with four home runs and 26 RBIs.[10] He returned to Kingsport in 2018, slashing .287/.389/.489 with 11 home runs and 52 RBIs in sixty games.[11] In 2019, he played with the Columbia Fireflies of the Class A South Atlantic League, hitting .255/.300/.411 with 12 home runs, 62 RBIs, and 27 doubles over 111 games.[12][13] After the season, he was named the Mets Minor League Hitter of the Year.[14]

Vientos did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] To begin the 2021 season, he was assigned to the Binghamton Rumble Ponies of the Double-A Northeast.[16] After slashing .281/.346/.580 with 22 home runs and 59 RBIs over 72 games, he was promoted to the Syracuse Mets of the Triple-A East in early September.[17] Over 11 games with Syracuse, Vientos batted .278 with three home runs.[18]

On November 19, 2021, the Mets selected Vientos' contract and added him to the 40-man roster.[19] He returned to Syracuse to begin the 2022 season.[20] In early June, he was placed on the injured list with knee discomfort, but returned just a little over a week later.[21][22] He was selected to represent the Mets at the 2022 All-Star Futures Game alongside Francisco Álvarez.[23] Over 101 games with Syracuse, he slashed .280/.358/.519 with 24 home runs and 72 RBIs.[24]

On September 10, 2022, the Mets promoted Vientos to the major leagues.[25] He made his MLB debut the next night at Marlins Park versus the Miami Marlins as the team's designated hitter, going hitless over five at-bats with two strikeouts as the Mets won 9-3.[26]

On September 15, 2022, Vientos recorded his first major-league hit, a single off of Eric Stout of the Pittsburgh Pirates.[27]
