Winners of five out of eight since the MLB All-Star break, the New York Mets have been playing their best baseball since May.
All-Stars Pete Alonso, Jacob deGrom and Jeff McNeil have been their normal, steady selves. After Saturday’s 2-5 effort, McNeil is hitting .345, the highest mark in Major League Baseball.
DeGrom’s latest start, seven innings of shutout, three-hit baseball at Oracle Park vs. the San Francisco Giants, lowered his ERA and WHIP to 3.02 and 1.107, respectively.
The performance of these three players cannot be understated, but there is another Met that should be catching your eye: shortstop Amed Rosario.
