I don't know what the story is, but outside of DeGrom, this generation of Mets pitchers really struggles to pitch to contact. They get ahead in counts and rather getting the batter to hit the ball for an out, they try to get cute and try to get him to strike out. This then leads to a ton of foul ball, high pitch counts and more walks. Again, outside of DeGrom, this generation of pitchers also seems pretty bad at getting themselves out of trouble, maybe because they don't like to pitch to contact and induce ground balls? Once a guy gets on base they seem to lose concentration which leads to a loss in control. Noah is the prime example of this... with his stuff he is unhittable but he tries to be too fine and strike people out instead of just getting people out. This leads to short outings...

Anyways... they definitely will need a bullpen arm and a rotation arm at some point this season if they are going to stay in contention. It would be nice if Cano didn't decide to apparently fall of the cliff this year also.
