It has been four years since David Wright has made a significant contribution to the New York Mets and when he left the team at the end of 2018, so did the captain’s title. Now the Mets are in search for the next leader of the team even if it is not in an official capacity.
Over the Mets 58 years of existence, they have had a total of four captains, Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter, John Franco, and of course David Wright.
The Mets don’t name captains all that often but there are always top leaders in the clubhouse that have their voice rise above everyone else’s and grab the attention of the locker room.
