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.

Daniel Murphy had a good run with the New York Mets where he averaged .288 over seven seasons.  The Second Basemen was named an All Star in 2014, and while 2015 saw him put up decreased numbers he exploded by batting .529 in the NLCS where he was named the MVP.   After collecting 967 Hits for New York, Murphy would sign as a Free Agent with the Washington Nationals where he won the Slugging and OPS Title and finished second in MVP voting.

If you were to tell someone in the mid-80s heyday of the New York Mets that a player of Jacob deGrom's traditional statistics would be this high on their all-time rank, they would not have believed it.  Of course, it is a different game, and deGrom is a different player.

Jacob deGrom got off to a great start with New York, winning the Rookie of the Year in 2011.  deGrom went to his first All-Star Game in 2015 and was seventh in Cy Young voting when he had a season of 14 Wins with 205 Strikeouts and a sub-1.000 WHIP.  2016 was not great, but he came back with a 15-8 record in an eighth-place Cy Young finish.  That was good, but what was going to happen next would be phenomenal.

While the Mets struggled with their offense, deGrom won the Cy Young award in both 2018 and 2019.  In 2018, he won the ERA title with a sparking 1.80, and in 2019, he won his first Strikeout Title with 255.  In both of those seasons, he was an All-Star and was a top ten finisher in MVP voting.  The star Pitcher would constantly battle with injuries, but when he was healthy, there were few in the history that could touch deGrom, which might have been shown perfectly in 2021, when he had an ERA of 1.08 with 146 Strikeouts in only 15 starts.  

Following another solid year in 2022, deGrom shockingly left the Big Apple for the Texas Rangers.  With New York, deGrom had an 82-57, 1,607 Strikeouts, a 2.52 ERA and an anemic WHIP of 0.998.
