Two innings into his 2021 season, Jacob Barnes has been underwhelming for the New York Mets. His five earned runs have given him an early 22.50 ERA. I know we shouldn’t judge anyone on just two appearances. However, the question with Barnes has always been his career totals.
Barnes came into the season with a lifetime 4.36 ERA in the big leagues through just under 200 innings pitched.
