Mets: What we’re looking for in Spring Training

For the next five weeks, games will be played almost every day, and there are a handful of important storylines for Mets fans to watch closely. Here they are:

1. How do the injured arms look?

New York’s 2017 campaign was a failure because of the inability for crucial starting pitchers to stay healthy. Noah Syndergaard, Matt Harvey, Steven Matz, Zack Wheeler, and Seth Lugo, to be specific, were particularly guilty for the team’s demise, as they all saw significant time on the DL in 2017. Therefore, it is important to track these players during Spring Training and watch how they rebound.
