The Mets’ bullpen was solid, if unspectacular, in 2021

Over the past decade of two, Mets bullpens have generally been very bad. Since the start of the 2012 season, Mets relievers have combined for a 4.20 ERA over the course of nearly five thousand innings, the fifth-worst ERA in all of baseball. There have been a couple of good years sprinkled in, but it’s a part of the team that has been a significant issue for a long time.

So the fact that the Mets finished the 2021 season with a 3.90 ERA that ranked ninth-best in baseball is something of an accomplishment. Only one bullpen finished the regular season with a sub-3.
