Player Profile: Jonathan Niese
Jon Niese has become an above-average major league pitcher and was considered the ace of the Mets until Matt Harvey exploded onto the scene. The lefty started Opening Day at Citi Field in 2013, earning a W against the Padres.
Niese’s signature pitch is his huge curveball. It’s a big breaker that drops from 11 to 5 and buckles LHs knees. Jon sets up his curve with a quality fastball...
Mets Offense Comes Up Empty In 4-0 Loss To Reds
The Cincinnati Reds (25-18) shutout the New York Mets (17-25) by the score of 4-0 tonight at a sparsely crowded Citi Field.

Mets Wrap: Jon Niese Shines In Win Over Cards
Four more strikeouts from Ike Davis, another boneheaded play from Jordany Valdespin, and another lumbering Met thrown out trying to steal, and yet The Boys From Flushing beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-2, today to snap a six-game losing streak. The reasons were mostly Jon Niese’s strong performance of working into the eighth inning and four hits from Daniel Murphy.
NIESE: Breaks...
Murphy Rips Four Hits, Niese Solid, Mets End Skid With 5-2 Win Over Cards
Daniel Murphy had four hits and Jon Niese pitched a gem as the New York Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 to salvage the final game of the series and avoid the four-game sweep.
The Mets got on the board in the third when Jordany Valdespin ignited a two-run rally with a perfect drag bunt in the third and then scored when the red-hot Murphy lined double to score Spin and then came...

Entering the season, the New York Mets expected left-handed starting pitcher Jonathon Niese to help fill the shoes of departed ace R.A. Dickey.

While the lack of productivity has been puzzling, one Mets source told Andy Martino of The New York Daily News that Niese is dealing with a neck issue.

Mets Need Niese To Be The Pitcher They Thought They Were Getting
Including this weekend’s 11-2 flameout loss to Pittsburgh, the Mets have lost Jon Niese’s last five starts, with him giving up 22 runs and not getting out of the fifth inning in three of them. He has not come close to resembling what the Mets think he should be, and that’s the No. 1 starter in their rotation.
The first game in that slide, April 18 at Colorado, and the one...

Niese’s Struggles Continue; Mets Have Lost His Last Four Starts
There will be days like today, where the meltdown is complete in all phases, beginning with Jon Niese’s inability to get hitters out, an offense offering little resistance to Tim Hudson, and a porous defense.
NIESE: Didn’t have it. (AP)
It’s not alarming the Mets couldn’t do anything to Hudson, but what should be a source of concern is Niese, who was hit hard in his fourth...
