The New York Mets were crowned as the 2018 world champions after posting the best regular season record 107-55 (.660) and ultimately defeating the Cleveland Indians in game seven of the World Series.



Here are the Mets' top five batters by WAR:

• Amed Rosario, SS (743 PA, 5.5 WAR)
  .277 AVG, .331 OBP, .437 SLG, 110 R, 18 HR, 69 RBI, 13 SB, 118 wRC+
• Travis d'Arnaud, C (588 PA, 4.4 WAR)
  .257 AVG, .316 OBP, .457 SLG, 70 R, 17 HR, 85 RBI, 0 SB, 117 wRC+
• Dilson Herrera, 2B (606 PA, 4.2 WAR)
  .282 AVG, .339 OBP, .466 SLG, 74 R, 19 HR, 67 RBI, 9 SB, 125 wRC+
• Tyler Naquin, CF (348 PA, 2.9 WAR)
  .271 AVG, .380 OBP, .447 SLG, 45 R, 10 HR, 45 RBI, 6 SB, 137 wRC+

And the top five pitchers by WAR:

• Noah Syndergaard, SP (245.0 IP, 9.7 WAR)
  34 GS, 22 W, 6 L, 2.17 ERA, .93 WHIP, 320 K, 1.8 BB/9, 11.8 K/9, 2.21 FIP
• Tyson Ross, SP (183.0 IP, 5.4 WAR)
  32 GS, 15 W, 9 L, 3.34 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 180 K, 2.5 BB/9, 8.9 K/9, 2.83 FIP
• Steven Matz, SP (221.1 IP, 4.7 WAR)
  32 GS, 17 W, 6 L, 2.81 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 221 K, 2.0 BB/9, 9.0 K/9, 3.43 FIP
• Jacob deGrom, SP (157.2 IP, 3.2 WAR)
  25 GS, 12 W, 7 L, 3.25 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 144 K, 1.5 BB/9, 8.2 K/9, 3.52 FIP
• Zack Wheeler, SP (154.0 IP, 2.5 WAR)
  28 GS, 11 W, 6 L, 4.32 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 161 K, 3.2 BB/9, 9.4 K/9, 3.76 FIP

Overall, this may be one of the better teams I've seen. The offensive production is strong, especially from traditionally weaker offensive positions. Syndergaard alone likely accounted for more WAR than several teams' entire rotation.

We will see if the Mets' dominance continues in 2019...
