Where Mets Rank in 2024

[Benjamin Grimm]

Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil, Brandon Nimmo are all poised to move up into semi-elite territory on some of the Mets' all-time offensive lists, with Francisco Lindor in the mix in a few categories as well. There are very few established Mets players on the pitching staff. Edwin Diaz is already among the all-time save leaders and he'll soon start making inroads in the games pitched category.

HOME RUNS

The big question is, will Pete Alonso be with the Mets long enough to pass Darryl Strawberry? If this is his last season here, he should at least break his current tie with Howard Johnson and will likely pass Mike Piazza. Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor should reach the Top Twenty.

[Edgy MD]

I'd like to see a 200-hit season from McNeil.

[The Hot Corner]

It appears that David Wright was pretty damn good. With all the numbers they Mets keep retiring, it would seem that Wright would be a most worth candidate. His career, Mets and otherwise, was greater than Doc Gooden's and Darryl Strawberry's, IMHO.

[Benjamin Grimm]

The Mets have three active players in the Top Twenty in Hits:



1. David Wright 1,777

2. Jose Reyes 1,534

3. Ed Kranepool 1,418

4. Cleon Jones 1,188

5. Edgardo Alfonzo 1,136

6. Mookie Wilson 1,112

7. Bud Harrelson 1,029

8. Mike Piazza 1,028

9. Darryl Strawberry 1,025

10. Howard Johnson 997

11. Jerry Grote 994

12. Daniel Murphy 967

13. Keith Hernandez 939

14. Carlos Beltran 878

15. Lee Mazzilli 796

16. Kevin McReynolds 791

17. Jeff McNeil 785

18. Brandon Nimmo 776

19. Felix Millan 743

20. Pete Alonso 723

[Benjamin Grimm]

There are four Mets who currently have enough plate appearances (295) to qualify for the batting title. (Or, for these purposes, the team lead in the three slash categories.)



They are Lindor, Alonso, Nimmo, and McNeil. Bader is 10 plate appearances shy and Martinez is short by 17.



So who leads the Mets in slugging percentage, I'm sure you're wondering. Well, if we only go to three decimal places, it's a three-way tie at .454!



Francisco Lindor: .454308

Brandon Nimmo: .454277

Pete Alonso: .453552



J.D. Martinez would be ahead of all of them, at .456790.



The Mets leader in batting average is Lindor at .253, although Bader is at .273. And in OBP, Nimmo leads with .361.



This concludes today's fun fact.

[Edgy MD]

That is a tight race!!



Non-qualifying Francisco Álvarez (considerably more non-qualifying than Martinez) leads them all at .479. Even more impressive non qualifiers include Luis Torrens (.547 in 57 plate appearances), Mark Vientos (.549 in 199 plate appearances) and José Iglesias (.582 😮 and a #1 hit record in 84 plate appearances).

[Benjamin Grimm]

Brandon Nimmo hit his 100th home run as a Met not so long ago, and Francisco Lindor is poised to do the same. Both of them have now entered the Top Twenty, at the expense of John Milner (94) and Cleon Jones (93). And it looks like Pete Alonso will be sticking around for the rest of the season, giving him a shot at third place.

I hope Todd Hundley enjoyed his time in the top 10.



I guess if you pass Ed Kranepool on any offensive list — except maybe stolen bases and possibly triples — you've achieved All-Time Met status.
