In 2018, more men suited up for the New York Mets than they have in any other year. The exact total, 56, bested the previous franchise record of 54 players used back in 1967.
There are obvious reasons for this. Injuries, the increased use of relief pitchers, and a lack of talent surely played a role in setting a new franchise high.
What I find most interesting is how the 1967 Mets held the previous record. All other teams with 50+ players are from 2003 or after. The 1962 Mets and their 45 players are the closest to the 1967 team.
