Duda has become a premier power hitter with 30 home runs in 2014 and 27 in 2015. He would have likely ended up with those kinds of numbers if he had not missed most of the 2016 season.
One of the best decisions Terry Collins ever made as Mets manager was making Lucas Duda the starting first baseman over Ike Davis in the 2014 season. The conventional wisdom was to take Davis, but Collins went with Duda and it proved to be a great move.
Duda is poised to have a strong 2017 season for the Mets who have only ten days till spring training.
