MLB Immaculate Grid Answers August 8: Which Mets pitchers have recorded 200+ K in a season?
One cannot begin this conversation without mentioning the legendary Tom Seaver. The National Baseball Hall of Famer registered 200+ strikeouts for an astonishing nine seasons in a row between 1968 and 1976. Seaver's No. 41 was retired by the Mets shortly after his retirement.
Jacob deGrom crossed the 200+ K milestone four times during his Mets tenure, three of them being on the trot between 2017 and 2019. DeGrom joined the Texas Rangers last offseason, but it's the Citi Field crowd who have witnessed the majority of his Hall of Fame-worthy accomplishments
Noah Syndergaard achieved the feat twice - 2016 and 2019. It’s now been four years since the New York Mets last had an entry to the 200+ K club.
