Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top 50 New York Mets.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, New York made it to the playoffs, though were bounced in the Wild Card round.  The 2022 season saw one huge rise, and two new entries.

As always, we present our top five, which had no changes.

1. Tom Seaver

2. Dwight Gooden                  

3. Jacob deGrom

4. David Wright

5. Darryl Strawberry

You can find the entire list here.

Notably, deGrom, who played for the Mets last season before signing with Texas as a Free Agent, did not do enough to move up from #3.

Power hitter, Pete Alonso, rocketed up from #49 to #24, and could make an eventual run for a top five spot.

Jeff McNeil debuts at #27, a reflection of his 2022 Season and the closeness of those in the bottom 25.

The other new entry is Outfielder, Brandon Nimmo, who enters at #35.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

As of this writing, Brandon Nimmo is set to enter his tenth MLB Season, all of which have been as a Met.

The Outfielder may not feel like a superstar, but he has been very productive, and was a highly-touted First Round Pick in 2011.  Nimmo debuted for the Mets in 2016, but was not a regular until 2018.  He only had 114 Hits, but had an OBP of .404 that year, and the led the NL in Hit by Pitch (22), showcasing his ability to get to First. 

Nimmo had numerous ailments from 2019 to 2021, but when healthy was consistently able to draw free passes, and display moderate power.  In 2022, Nimmo led the NL in Triples (7), and had his first 150-plus HIt year.  In 2023, Nimmo set personal bests in Hits (162), Home Runs (24) and Runs Batted In (68).  Last season, he only had 23 Home Runs and 128 Hits, but he helped the Mets reach the National League Championship. Nimmo could have an All-Star in him.
