One of the biggest differences between previous versions of the New York Mets and the 2019 team is the fact that the roster now boasts two elite hitters. The emergence of Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil have brought legitimacy to a traditionally poor Mets offense.
The team currently ranks 15th in total runs scored in 2019. While that may seem like an unimpressive statistic, it is a major upgrade for a team known for its pitching star power. The Mets’ offense finished 26th in runs in 2016, 19th in 2017, and 23rd in 2018.
