He paid immediate dividends in his first start with the Mets on August 11th doubling in his first at bat. He would go 2 for 4 in the game driving in a run and scoring another in the Mets 8 to 3 victory over the St Louis Cardinals. Unfortunately that was pretty much the highlight of his season for the Mets in 1998 as he batted just .204 down the stretch as the Mets missed the playoffs.
Allensworth started the 1999 season with the Mets but the results were pretty much the same as he hit just .219 with 3 home runs and 9 RBI’s. With Allensworth providing very little production the Mets optioned him to the Norfolk Tides their triple A affiliate where he finished out the season.
The Mets traded Allensworth to the Boston Red Sox in the off-season for another outfielder named Jon Nunnally.
In 74 games for the Mets Jermaine Allensworth hit .213 with 5 homers and 13 RBI’s.
He wore # 23 in his first season with the Mets but switched to #46 in 1999.
