Games pitches is not a statistic many of us look at. Because relief pitchers have the advantage of appearing in half the team’s games or more, a franchise’s leader in this category is rarely a starter. The same is true for the New York Mets, however, several notable starting pitchers are in the 300 games played club.
A combination of longevity, durability, and availability are what allows a player to reach 300 games in his career with a particular team. In the free agent era, it may feel tougher than ever. Considering this list of men who have appeared in 300 games for the Metropolitans, it’s not quite the case.
