11:10 pm GMT, 9/16

The Mets have enough strength in all the right places to go the distance in 2021. They have an excellent rotation and an an array of good hitters. The bullpen has improved with Edwin Diaz coming over from Seattle along with veteran Robinson Cano. The Mets also traded to land Wilson Ramos and Jed Lowrie. Diaz, Cano, Ramos and Lowrie should bring new punch to an offense that was rated among the worst in the major leagues in 2020. Michael Conforto, Brandon Nimmo and Pete Alonso are back to terrorize opposing pitchers. The Mets’ real strength is in its starting pitching. Jacob deGrom, Cy Young winner, is the hard-throwing ace. Following deGrom is Noah Syndergaard. Michael Wacha, Marcus Stroman and Steven Matz. Rick Porcello, the former Red Sox ace, is looking to be the fifth starter. Diaz, Dellin Betances, Jeurys Familia and Seth Lugo give the Mets one of the superior bullpens in baseball.

New York Mets Roster 2024 Outlook

New York’s other team has struggled since that postseason run they made. The Matt Harvey experiment is dead, but Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard leading your rotation is an excellent place to start. After those two it gets a little dicier. Steven Matz and Zack Wheeler have both shown struggles, but 2018 has been somewhat kind to them. Seth Lugo has pitched well in a limited sample. In the Matt Harvey deal, the Mets received Devin Mesoraco, as Travis D’Arnaud has gone down with another injury. Amed Rosario has finally earned the everyday playing time over Jose Reyes, because you know, Reyes was the man of the future. The injury bug hits the Mets way too often. Yoenis Cespedes, Michael Conforto, and Jay Bruce have all had injury issues of late. This has given Brandon Nimmo an opportunity, and he has taken full advantage of the playing time this season.

2017 saw the New York Mets start out slowly losing 14 of their first two dozen games. However, the young team still managed to hang right around .500 baseball for the better part of the next three months. By August though, the dog days caught up with Mr. Met, and the team plummeted to finish next to last in the National League East. As managements eyes turned to 2018, there was huge optimism, mainly founded on the backs of a strong young pitching staff. The return of Jay Bruce after his run at a title with the Cleveland Indians gave New York a strong outfield. However, Yoenis Cespedes limped out of the gate and the emergence of Brandon Nimmo has Jay Bruce looking over his shoulder. Veteran Leadership

Ah, but there is still that strong pitching staff right? Well, one-time team ace Matt Harvey was sent packing to the Queen City and is still struggling to rediscover himself, while wearing a Cincinnati Red's uniform. For Harvey, New York thought they acquired a solid bat at the catcher spot, once highly regarded prospect Devon Mesoraco. But like Harvey, Devon cannot stay on the field. New York thought some veteran hitters might help them produce more runs. Adrian Gonzalez and Jose Reyes provided veteran bats and stability in a young clubhouse. However, the idea that the Mets future could rely on these two aging stars had zero support in reality. In fact, the once valuable first baseman Gonzalez is already sitting on the free agent market.

Back to the Basics – Pitching

The 2018 roster has New York right back where they finished in 2017, with only the woeful Miami (Florida) Marlins as a cushion between them and the NL East basement. But, similar to the end of the last two seasons, Mets fans have hope in their young guns. Noah Syndergaard and Zach Wheeler both sport ERAs in the three runs per game range. Newly anointed staff ace Jacob deGrom has an earned run average less than two runs a game. Worthy of a number of victories would be the logical assumption. It just hasn't worked out that way. deGrom is nearing 200 strikeouts and has Cy Young worthy numbers, but a paltry seven wins due to horrible run support, won't earn him the coveted NL pitcher of the year trophy. What deGrom's numbers do prove, is that New York needs bats and they need them badly.

In Need of Bats, Badly To say the Mets need bats is probably one of the biggest understatements in all of Major League Baseball. Their woeful .232 batting average is the worst in baseball. That pitiful average has translated into the 25th worst stat for runs scored. The team slugging percentage and OPS aren't much encouragement either. The problem in New York isn't top shelf pitching, but the total lack of run production. To push runs across the plate in professional baseball, teams must hit. The New York Mets 2018 roster simply does not. When Asdrubal Cabrera was inked to play second base, he was not supposed to lead the team in hits, batting average, RBIs, let alone long balls. Cabrera is the lowest single team leader in home runs with 18 in baseball. Sure, Cespedes was counted on to be the Mets primary source of home runs, but veteran 3rd bagger Todd Frazier has hit only a dozen. No other Met has left the yard more than 16 times in 2018. Ironically, eight teams have hit fewer homers than New York, but when no one is on base, even the long ball has little effect on the scoreboard. The problem for New York's "other team" isn't pitching. In spite of a weak bullpen, they sit middle of the pack in pitching statistics. The 2018 New York Mets need bats, and they need them badly. So, as we navigate through the dog days of summer this August 2018, the New York Mets find themselves in familiar territory. A team loaded with top talent on the pitching staff, but unable to produce runs. When the Mets begin to score more runs, they will start to win games. And on that note, Mr. Met will continue to look to rebuild on the strength of a powerful pitching staff.
