Pitching, power, hopes, and a dream. The New York Mets have it all.
Well, almost. There’s one thing this team still needs. In the misquoted words of Maverick, I feel the Mets have a need—a need for speed.
Speed goes beyond stolen bases, but it’s the simplest measure of how fast a team is. The Mets finished 23rd in the league in this category last season. For many years now, they’ve found themselves near the bottom in this category. Things are unlikely to take a drastic turn for the best in 2020 with no especially speedy additions to the roster this offseason.
