New York Mets Pitching Staff Continues To Impress

Originally posted on Total Apex Sports | By Justin Rimpi | Last updated Apr 29, 2025 12:45 PM ET

The pitching staff of the New York Mets has gotten off to a historic start this year. They have put forth 29 straight games with their starting pitchers allowing four runs or fewer to start the regular season. That is the ninth-longest streak in league history.

New York can shoot up to third on the all-time list with a few more successful starts from its pitching staff. The Mets have the lowest ERA by starting pitchers by a wide margin. This is such an exciting start for the New York Mets on the mound because of the injuries the unit has had to overcome over the first month of the regular season. Starting Pitchers Paul Blackburn, Frankie Montas, and Sean Manaea have yet to make their season debuts. Will New York’s pitching staff be able to continue carrying the team?

The New York Mets have the best record in Major League Baseball at 20-9. New York’s offense has been mediocre this year. They are 12th in batting average, 16th in home runs, and ninth in runs scored. First Baseman Pete Alonso has come out of the gates firing on all cylinders. He is seventh in the league batting average, third in RBI, and third in OPS.

New York’s pitching staff has been tremendous. They are leading the league in ERA , eighth in opposing batting average, and first in strikeouts. Starting Pitcher Griffin Canning is third in wins and Tylor Megill is eighth in ERA. Relief Pitcher Reed Garrett is also tied for the league lead in holds.

Final Thoughts

New York will send David Peterson to the mound tonight against the Arizona Diamondbacks looking to continue the team’s historic stretch on the bump. Peterson is 1-1 this season with a 3.29 ERA. The Mets have lived up to expectations thus far. Their pitching staff has been the reason why.
