Jose Iglesias playfully corrects reporters with current career batting average

José Iglesias was an important part of the New York Mets' success this year, providing his traditionally excellent defense and possessing a reliable contact bat. Plus, and there is no other baseball player who can say this, he created impeccable vibes by creating and performing a pretty good pop song.

The 12-year veteran beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 in Game 1 on Tuesday, and that was enough to make him a postgame interview subject. And this hit on SNY had a funny beginning when the reporter asked his question using Iglesias' career batting average at the start of the season rather than at the end of the season.

Iglesias was quick to point out that his .337 campaign this year meant he was a .283 lifetime hitter, not a bad .280 lifetime hitter.

Incredibly smart move here. Especially because it was about Iglesias' long-term future with the Mets. In conversations like this, every percentage point counts, no matter how small. And the ability to fact-check in real time is just another example of his malleability as a player who can help a team win in many different ways. Even in the charm department.
