For the last two seasons, the New York Mets had a very solid left-handed reliever in Justin Wilson. While he did have some injury issues, Wilson was extremely reliable when healthy, and was a huge reason the Mets finished 86-76 and nearly made the playoffs in 2019. Wilson and Seth Lugo were practically unhittable down the stretch closing games for this team.
