Winker's reinstatement with the Mets is particularly significant because of the impact he had during his previous tenure. Last season, he played admirably, showcasing his skills as a hitter despite struggles and injuries in the seasons prior.

Observations from last year highlight how Winker was “locked in,” consistently delivering quality at-bats, which ultimately boosted the team's performance during crucial playoff games.
