New York Yankees, Mets: The top 5 starting pitchers in the Big Apple

There’s a lot of pitching talent between the New York Yankees and Mets. Names like Jacob deGrom and Gerrit Cole take the headlines, but there’s still plenty of talent following those two.

One could argue that New York now employs five of the top 20 pitchers in all of baseball.

The question remains, “How would the all-New York starting rotation shake out?”

1. Jacob deGrom

The Mets’ ace is coming off back-to-back Cy Young campaigns. During that time, deGrom amassed 16 wins above replacement, according to FanGraphs.
