If I were to tell you that Seth Lugo would be the most impressive Mets starter to pitch this week, you’d probably look at me like I’m crazy. After all, Noah Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom have both been on top of their games early on.
But it’s true, Seth Lugo was pretty amazing too. His start this week came in the World Baseball Classic so the stakes were a little higher. He pitched for Puerto Rico against one of the heavy hitters of Latin America, Venezuela, and had pretty success to show for it.
