New York Mets Bullpen: Get your hands off the panic button

The current relief corps for the New York Mets seem to be massively underperforming their talent, at least using their careers as evidence. Edwin Diaz has mostly been identified as the sole reliable piece standing after struggles from nearly every other member of the ‘pen.

Mining through each of these pitchers’ stats will be a futile measure considering the minuscule sample size of the situation. However, an analysis of each reliever’s performance can reveal some of their inadequacies. Seth Lugo has struggled mightily this season, poor performances bookended by two innings in which he struck out the side.
