With the flowing blonde hair and tall frame, Noah Syndergaard, has the nickname of "Thor".  Many days, he pitched just like it.

48. Jeurys Familia

While the third season as the Mets closer has not yet gone according to plan for Jeurys Familia, his first two seasons in that role were excellent.  Familia led the NL in Saves in 2016, which saw him also go to the All Star Game and receive a smattering of MVP votes.  2017 was a horrible year for the Dominican hurler as he was suspended for 15 Games for domestic violence and his play on the field also plummeted.  He was traded during the 2018 season to Oakland.  He returned in 2019 as a Free Agent, where he played for two years before departing again.  As a Met, Familia, had 124 Saves and finished 233 Games.

45. Wayne Garrett

A member of the 1969 Miracle Mets as a rookie, Wayne Garratt would compete professionally for the team for seven and a half seasons.  Garrett would spend time predominantly at Third Base and his best season was in 1973 where he had 129 Hits with 16 Home Runs.  He would blast two more Homers in the 1973 World Series.
Mets fans may not have a great memory for Armando Benitez as he is more known for the Saves he blew (especially in the playoffs) than the ones he made, but there is no question that he closed a lot of games for New York.
