The New York Mets need Rick Porcello to step up this season

Heading into spring training, the New York Mets were expected to feature one of the best pitching rotations throughout Major League Baseball.

But with Noah Syndergaard now sidelined until 2021, it’s possible that the ballclub won’t be able to lean on their pitching staff as much. Until someone not named Jacob deGrom or Marcus Stroman steps up, New York will likely struggle to keep runs off the scoreboard this year.

Along with deGrom and Stroman, the 2020 Mets rotation will likely feature Rick Porcello, Steven Matz, and Michael Wacha.
