Most of the talk around the Mets is centered around if Chris Young or Jenrry Mejia should be the team’s fifth starter after Chris Schwinden failed miserably in his brief audition for the role. Young was terrific in four starts with the club last year while Mejia in one of The Queens Quads that fans are eager to see perform in Citi Field.
But lost in the shuffle is the ancient one – Miguel Batista. Last night Batista threw seven shutout innings, leading the Mets to a 3-1 win over the Brewers. Big deal, you might think, the Brewers are hardly the same team as they were last year and no one will confuse them with an offensive powerhouse. But you can only pitch against the teams on the schedule and that’s the opponent Batista drew last night.
In parts of two seasons with the Mets, Batista has made seven starts. Here are his numbers in those outings:
