At the close of the 2007 MLB season, New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes accomplished a truly remarkable feat. He finished the campaign with an incredible 78 stolen bases. Reyes, a Mets legend in his own right, was one of the rare elite speed threats to suit up in orange and blue. His 408 stolen bases are by far the most in franchise history (Mookie Wilson ranks second with 281).
The Numbers
Players with Reyes’ skill set seem to be few and far between on the Mets roster since the speedster’s departure.
