Met Starters Who Never Pitched for Anybody Else

Jacob deGrom is fifth among Met starting pitchers all-time in games started, and first by far among Met starting pitchers all-time in games started by Mets who never pitched for another MLB team. But if Jake were to leave, leadership in that latter category would fall to...

Randy Tate's 23 starts, all with the '75 Mets, are the most starts in major league history by a pitcher who only appeared in one MLB season.



Tate holds (or held) another MLB all-time record, though I can't recall exactly what it is. But it has something to do with Tate not ever getting a single hit in the majors.

As I read, my money was on John Maine for most non-deGrom Mets starts without starting for anybody else, because I remembered his brief sunset with the Marlins included no starts.



What I didn't remember somehow were his nine-pre-Mets starts for the Orioles.

Great job.

I thought Terry Leach might have been on that list. I remember him coming out of the bullpen as an emergency starter and returning there after the regular starters got healthy. But he started three games for KC in his one season there.
