Mets Making Pen Younger

Posted on by metbaseball

If the age of your relievers directly relates to the quality of your bullpen, the Mets are on the right path.

When Opening Day arrives, Anthony DiComo predicts that these seven players will be in the Mets pen: Devin Williams (31), Luke Weaver (32), Brooks Raley (37), Luis García (39), Tobias Myers (27), Huascar Brazobán (36), Craig Kimbrel (39).

The average age is 34.4 years. That’s more than two years younger than the Mets 2025 pen. Its average age was just under 37.

The Mets got the youngest member of the projected 2026 pen, Tobias Myers, in January along with RHP Freddy Peralta in exchange for RHP Brandon Sproat and SS Jett Williams.

Given that in 2025 three of the top four bullpens in baseball all averaged under 36 years in age, this coming season’s Mets group should allow even fewer runs than last year’s, which allowed the seventh fewest with a 3.55 ERA.

Top Mets Starters Since 2020: Senga Rising

Posted on by metbaseball

Since 2020, only three Mets starters have recorded 20 or more starts in which they allowed two or fewer runs over six or more innings.

David Peterson leads the way with 93 starts since debuting in 2020. He remains with the team and has been a consistent presence in the rotation.

In second is Max Scherzer, who made 42 starts for the Mets across the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

Third is Jacob deGrom, whose nine-year Mets career (2014–2022) included 38 starts from 2020 to 2022.

Now sitting just behind deGrom in fourth is Kodai Senga, who debuted in 2023 and has also made 38 starts over his first three seasons. As of the third month of his third season, he needs just three more starts of six-plus innings with two or fewer runs allowed to pass deGrom on this list.
