The 2019 New York Mets had many strengths, including hitting home runs at a record pace and re-affirming Jacob deGrom‘s GOAT status. Unfortunately, base stealing was not one of those strengths. This year, the Mets as a team stole just 56 bases all year, landing them at 23rd in the MLB in that regard. By comparison, Jose Reyes by himself stole 56 or more bases during four of his 12 seasons with the Mets.
The Mets’ 56 team stolen bases this year was one of their more futile efforts on the basepaths in recent years.
