Kittle singled to right, Winfield to second. Cotto singled to center, Winfield Winfield reaches milestone By Tom Verducci Newsday NEW YORK In a relaxed moment of reflection on a turbulent season, Dave Winfield counted his blessings. "Fortunately," he said last night, "I have my health and my sanity." To that list, he could add 100 runs batted in. Winfield reached 100 RBI's plus one with a two-run single in the seventh inning of the Yankees' 8-1 victory over Toronto last night at Yankee Stadium. It is the fifth consecutive season in which the veteran outfielder has driven in at least 100 runs.

He is the first Yankee to do so since Joe DiMag-gio knocked in 100 or more in seven straight years (1936-42). Winfield, who turns 35 Friday, is a star who is aware of his image as much as he is his statistics. He knows his feuding with principal owner George Steinbrenner has dulled both. That may have explained why Winfield celebrated quietly last night with a can of beer and a hope that Steinbrenner will call a truce. "I hopefully would want next year and every succeeding year to play the game and not have to have people praise me or pat me on the back," Winfield said.

"If I was left alone it would be a happier, productive atmosphere. I don't need the bickering. It doesn't help me, it doesn't help the image, and it doesn't help the guys. It would be interesting. It would be interesting to see what kind of production I'd get."

At the the managers' disposal are suggestions from the players' personal AMI reports to aid in improvement. Craig Repoz, the son of former major-leaguer Roger Repoz, is an infielder in the Mets' system. He scored high in all competitive traits but aggressiveness.

Mets scouts detected no manifestation of this. It showed up in the minors. The slender 6-foot-2, 165-pound shortstop had trouble turning double plays with a base runner bearing down on him. His batting average was suffering, too. "We moved him to third base and he batted over .300 there," said McHvaine.

"What could have become a player who washed out has become a solid major-league prospect just because we caught something in the test. Sometimes slow-maturing, undersized youngsters are overwhelmed by bigger boys they play against. Even after their bodies mature they have a mental carryover against contact sports." Repoz wound up hitting .292, with seven home runs and 78 runs 1 psychological tests to measure player motivation FROM PAGE C-l Wayne Tolleson to take a 3-0 lead. When Cerutti walked the first two hitters in the seventh, he was relieved by Bill Caudill. Randolph sacrificed both runners along and Mattingly was then walked intentionally, loading the bases.

Caudill then balked Tolleson home from third and advanced strong in all three areas, of course," McHvaine said. While top scouts are important, the Mets believe that even what the eye sees can be deceptive. "We only rely on scouting reports during stress situations in a game," said McHvaine. "Even that can be misleading. A boy can have a bad day because his mother is dying in a hospital.

We figure we have to know what is going on inside a boy's mind while he is United Press International NEW YORK Thousands of baseball fans who were unable to obtain tickets for three Mets-Astros National League Championship Series games at Shea Stadium will have a chance later this week to buy World Series tickets. A Mets spokesman said the .10,000 tickets that went on sale by phone at noon Sunday were sold in less than six hours. The Mets are scheduled to face Houston Oct. 11- .12, and, if necessary Oct. 13, at Shea Stadium.

About 5,000 fans managed to get through to Teletron, the telephone division of Ticketron. An increased sales staff of 68 agents working 90 phone lines was not enough to handle the calls. A New York Telephone spokesman said customers experienced delays throughout the metropolitan area because of the Mets calls. Phone company officials said they hadn't seen that much activity since Teletron sold tickets to a se- ries of Bruce Springsteen concerts two years ago at Giants Stadium. Mets officials said they believed selling tickets by phone rather than by mail or at the Shea Stadium box office was the best way to handle the situation.

Team officials said they chose phone sales because the system operates like a lottery, with each caller having a random chance of obtaining ticket's.

"It is a goal of a baseball administrator to get the best possible production out of a player. That only can be accomplished with the right mental outlook," McHvaine said. "The Mets have psychologists and counselors step in in special cases. More and more is going to be done in this area in the future." Areas the tests cannot forecast, unfortunately, are tendencies toward chemical abuse and the effects of "the good life" that high salaries bring today's player. "No way of prognosticating that," McHvaine said.

"There is no profile yet on drug or alcoholism or complacency down the road. Only God can know." The Mets' scouting approach covers: Physical Ability ability to run, throw, hit, hit for power. Baseball Intelligence basic instincts and right reactions. AMI profiles. "We have found that players who play better than their ability are strong in these latter two categories.

McHvaine considers self-confidence, mental toughness, and emotional control the keys to a quality player. Len Dykstra scored highest in these three traits. McHvaine added: "If scores are very low in these key areas, we are likely to eliminate or question those prospects. The inventory is the tie-breaker in choosing two players who otherwise rate even.

Physical ability will take a player only so far." A pitcher's self-control is vital to control of his pitches. Few successful pitchers score low on emotional control. Jim Palmer and Tom Seaver rank high in this trait. The self-confidence factor can fluctuate sometimes according to the team situation or environment in which an athlete finds himself. "But emotional control and mental toughness generally won't change," McHvaine said.

"If you perform well under pressure when you are a 12-year-old in a state championship game, generally you will perform at peak when you get older in pressure postseason games. Guys who go to pieces when the pressure is on are likely to continue that pattern." Mental toughness and stability are important in a 162-game season. A successful player can't get too high off a super game or too low after a bad game. The Mets have become one of the most successful teams in terms of player development. They developed 16 pitchers who have been on major-league rosters this season.

(The Dodgers lead in this category with 18.) Mets pitchers Rick Aguilera, McDowell, and Gooden are home-grown. Among the team's exiles are Seaver, Nolan Ryan, and Jeff Reardon. The AMI scores compiled by Gooden and Aguilera rated tops in mental toughness and emotional control. McDowell was high in tenacity. Pitcher Ron Darling exhibited the ability to pitch in pressure situations.

There is no profile on Darryl Strawberry, who was signed before McHvaine launched the program in 1981. The Mets use the tests to identify tendencies in prospects and to help players overcome emotional deficiencies in the minors.
