According to Fangraphs, the Mets’ bullpen was the 13th in baseball last year by fWAR. On one hand, this sounds insane to fans who sat and watched as their nails got bitten away multiple times per week when things went wrong. However, along with thinking their manager doesn’t know what they’re doing, just about every baseball fan watches their team’s bullpen with horror at times. Bullpens are, by their very nature, mercurial and feature performances that are incredibly hard to predict and replicate year to year.
That said, the Mets’ bullpen to start 2025 doesn’t look too different from the bullpen at the end of 2024.
