It is common knowledge that the Mets rank at the bottom of the National League with 50 home runs.
…however, these numbers threw me for a loop…
The Mets have the fewest strikeouts and the highest team batting average in the NL at .273.
They also lead the league with 79 stolen bases, have the second most hits, and are tied for the lead in on-base percentage with the Dodgers at .349.
…looking at this from afar, you would say there is no way this ballclub could be just a .500 team, but they are, which at this point has remarkably been good enough to compete in their division…
…this has to be attributed to the men they leave on base day in and day out…
