Mets pitcher Bartolo Colon draws 1st walk in 19 seasons

New York Mets pitcher Bartolo Colon has been making history all year.

On Monday, Colon drew his first walk ever against Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Robbie Ray. The walk came in Colon's 282nd career plate appearance; he has been in the major leagues for 19 seasons.

According to ESPN, it's the most times a player in MLB history has had that many plate appearances without drawing a walk.

In the fourth inning of New York's 10-6 loss to Arizona, Colon got to a full count against Ray before drawing the walk on the seventh pitch of the at-bat when Ray threw fastball high and out of the strike zone.
