Mets: Captain Consistency David Wright’s prime years 2005-2008

David Wright will likely call it a career this winter. This week, the longtime New York Mets third baseman is set to play in an MLB game for the first time since May of 2016.

Long before he was battling through injuries, Wright was an elite third baseman well on his way toward Cooperstown. Unfortunately, his career was cut short.

However, even in the final few years when he wasn’t at his best or on the field regularly, Wright did something quite remarkable. He hit with consistency. In all 13 of his MLB seasons, Wright finished with an OPS+ over 100.
