Simply put, 2019 was a season to forget for New York Mets reliever Edwin Diaz. Coming off a stellar 57 save season with the Seattle Mariners, DÍaz came to New York with high expectations, especially given the hefty price paid to acquire him.
Unfortunately, much like most first-year Mets coming off all-star seasons, Díaz was a disappointment. Díaz displayed his electric stuff on many occasions and posted a 15.36 K/9 (3rd among relievers) which was an improvement from 2018. That being said, Díaz also led MLB relievers with 2.33 HR/9 and blew 7 saves in 2019.
