Nothing makes sense about this first-place Mets team: Sherman
NY Post
I can tell you the spin rate on Jacob deGrom’s first fastball on Saturday. It was 2,563 revolutions per minute. I can tell you none of the six hardest-hit balls in Sunday’s Mets victory over the Padres went for extra bases and three were outs. Heck, I can tell you what Michael Conforto is hitting with a runner on first and no outs. It is .000; he’s hitless in 12 at-bats.
So much is quantified and catalogued now that I can pretty much tell you anything within the game. But even with all that is available at my fingertips and with more than 35 years experience covering this sport, I really cannot explain why the Mets are in first place. Well, some of it is explicable. The top three starters have been brilliant, with deGrom the ace of the sport. The defense has been so much better than in recent years. The division, quite frankly, stinks.
