It’s no secret the New York Mets aren’t hitting right now, at least not consistently. Some of that can be attributed to the absurd injury situation, but it’s not like the Mets were killing it with a fully healthy lineup in the first place.
Through the month of May, the Mets were last in the majors in runs scored, last in total bases and second-to-last in home runs.
