Bo Bichette is an infielder who has primarily played shortstop in MLB, and he is now expected to play third base for the New York Mets going forward.

Primary position

  • Throughout his major-league career with the Toronto Blue Jays, Bichette was used mainly as a shortstop, making essentially all of his defensive starts there (plus some time at designated hitter).
  • Team depth charts and player bios from recent seasons still list him at shortstop because that is the position he has been most associated with in MLB.

Current role with Mets

  • After signing a three-year deal with the New York Mets, reports indicate the Mets plan to move Bichette to third base since Francisco Lindor is entrenched at shortstop.
  • Beat reports and league insiders note that Bichette has never started at third in MLB, so this will be a new defensive role even though he remains an infield regular.
