Next Mets player to reach 200 hits could already be on the roster

Only two players in New York Mets history have crossed over 200 hits in a season. In 1996, Lance Johnson’s amazing season ended with the speedy outfielder compiling a franchise leading 227 hits. The 2008 season included 204 hits from shortstop Jose Reyes. Nobody else since, before, or in between has reached the milestone.

In a typical MLB season, only a small number of players will reach 200 hits in a year. Nobody in the National League has reached the mark since 2017. Reaching 200 hits is not as simple as Jose Altuve made it in the early part of his career.
