If there’s one phrase most commonly repeated when discussing New York Mets history, it’s that they are “a franchise known for its pitching.” Two of the most legendary Mets were right-handed pitchers, Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden. Modern-day maestro Jacob deGrom, a righty himself, has also quickly rocketed up the ranks of Mets all-time greats.
There have also been many talented left-handed starting pitchers throughout the history of the Amazins that have etched their way into team lore. Before I discuss the top greats in this category, unfortunately not every solid lefty starter in Mets history could make the cut.
