Among the New York Mets starting pitchers who have been with the team all season long, the only one who didn’t reach a new personal best in innings pitched was Jacob deGrom. His 217 innings pitched from 2018 was tough to match. This takes nothing away from everything he did do this year in his attempt to keep the National League Cy Young Award. We’ll see if he does.
Fortunately, the other three were able to record more outs than ever before. Steven Matz, Noah Syndergaard, and Zack Wheeler each finished 2019 with more innings logged on their shoulders and elbows than ever before.
