The most batters Matlack struck out in a season after leaving the Mets was 157.

I'll post the remaining answer at the start of tonight's Mets game if nobody's gotten it by then.

The last, or stumping pitcher, is 1969 Met and owner of a Mets World Series ring, Bob Johnson. He struck out 206 batters in 1970, his only season as a member of the KC Royals. The year after, Bob earned his second World Series ring in three years as a member of the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates.



Thank you for playing.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Pretty good trade sequence for the Royals. They got Johnson, a 200K pitcher and perennial all-star Amos Otis for only the already washed up Joe Foy. Then they flipped Johnson for another all-star and a foundational piece of their (also ex-Met) Whitey Herzog pennant contending teams, shortstop Freddie Patek. Patek and especially Otis would receive MVP votes, too, as Royals.

[Edgy MD]

I'd've taken about 300 guesses before getting to Johnson. I would've guessed guys I was virtually certain were incorrect (Gooden? Viola? Matz? Byrd?) before Johnson.



I might be wrong, but I seem to remember Youmans got his 200th strikeout against the Mets, and that's why I pulled him out of my butt.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Johnson was definitely the toughest answer, I thought. But you got what I thought were the next two toughest answers: Kazmir and Youmans.



Johnson was also the first former Met to strike out 200 batters in a season for another team.

[MFS62]

Johnson was traded, with Amos Otis, to KC for Joe Foy.

I've successfully blocked that trade out of my mind for many years.

Now it is back in there.

Thanks a lot.
