Zack Wheeler’s rookie campaign had its ups and downs, but most importantly, he was able to finish on a strong note – getting better each start before hitting a wall in September. Before the season, the collective writers of Mets 360 projected Wheeler’s stats to look something like this: Innings Pitched: 88.1 Earned Run Average: [...]
It was really a tale of two seasons for Dillon Gee. Through May, Gee had an ERA of over 5.50 and was getting pounded left and right by just about everybody he faced. But a start against the New York Yankees on May 30th began to change the face of Gee’s season. In that game [...]

In this new series, the Mets360 staff will take a look back at our pre-season previews and see how they played out. Just a fun little ongoing exercise to while [...]
With the Mets’ 4-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, they clinched a protected (in the Top 10) draft pick in the 2014 MLB draft. Some fans openly rooted for the team to lose so that the pick could be secured, and the backlash against these fans from Mets beat writer/Eamonn McEneany-wannabe/clown Andy Martino [...]

After an up and down season, Daniel Murphy’s final stat line isn’t too bad at all. .285/.315/.415, .320 wOBA, 106 wRC+, 3.0 fWAR, and for what it’s worth, career highs in hits (186), home runs (13), stolen bases (20, while being caught only three times), triples (four), runs scored (92), and RBIs (76). The average [...]

There is no superstar in Major League Baseball who gets less credit for all he does than David Wright. For someone who is a Top 10 hitter in the sport – and who is the best third baseman not playing for the Detroit Tigers – Wright never seems to be placed in his rightful spot [...]
