The 2020 season was a disappointment for the New York Mets. Eight teams made the postseason in the National League and the Mets were not among them despite months of hype surrounding the team. Even worse, they finished dead last in the NL East.
Still, there’s reason to believe that they aren’t as far away from competing as their record says. The Mets were first in MLB in wRC+, third in OPS, and fifth in offensive fWAR. It’s hard to lose when you have arguably the best offense in MLB, but the Mets found a way.
