2020 Season Recap

Three peat! The New York Mets, 101-61 (.623), win their third consecutive World Series. They did this in convincing fashion as well, sweeping the Cleveland Indians in four games. Honestly, this is the first time I can remember a team winning three straight world championships in any of my sims.

This is also a little scary as my expansion Montreal Expos will eventually be in the same division as the Mets.

This year there were four teams with 100 or more wins: Cleveland Indians (102), St. Louis Cardinals (102), New York Mets (101), and Los Angeles Dodgers (100).



Here are the Mets' top five batters by WAR:
  • Dominic Smith, 1B (708 PA, 10.2 WAR)
    .347 AVG, .468 OBP, .678 SLG, 126 R, 50 HR, 122 RBI, 1 SB, 209 wRC+
  • Travis d'Arnaud, C (466 PA, 3.7 WAR)
    .275 AVG, .335 OBP, .419 SLG, 53 R, 13 HR, 48 RBI, 0 SB, 115 wRC+
  • Andres Gimenez, SS (503 PA, 3.5 WAR)
    .266 AVG, .353 OBP, .386 SLG, 65 R, 6 HR, 36 RBI, 14 SB, 112wRC+
  • Dilson Herrera, 2B (673 PA, 3.2 WAR)
    .268 AVG, .309 OBP, .444 SLG, 71 R, 20 HR, 76 RBI, 2 SB, 110 wRC+
  • Wil Myers, RF (508 PA, 2.5 WAR)
    .277 AVG, .360 OBP, .491 SLG, 61 R, 24 HR, 83 RBI, 1 SB, 136 wRC+

And the top five pitchers by WAR:
  • Noah Syndergaard, SP (223.0 IP, 9.3 WAR)
    34 GS, 23 W, 6 L, 2.66 ERA, .86 WHIP, 310 K, 1.2 BB/9, 12.5 K/9, 2.08 FIP
  • Steven Matz, SP (182.2 IP, 5.2 WAR)
    33GS, 15 W, 9 L, 2.56 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 170 K, 2.2 BB/9, 8.4 K/9, 2.95 FIP
  • Sean Gilmartin, SP (170.0 IP, 3.7 WAR)
    32 GS, 9 W, 13 L, 3.02 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 147 K, 2.8 BB/9, 7.8 K/9, 3.42 FIP
  • Jarred Cosart, SP (193.1 IP, 3.5 WAR)
    32 GS, 12 W, 9 L, 3.21 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 153 K, 3.0 BB/9, 7.1 K/9, 3.69 FIP
  • Jacob deGrom, SP (152.0 IP, 1.7 WAR)
    28 GS, 9 W, 10 L, 4.20 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, 117 K, 4.4 BB/9, 6.9 K/9, 4.24 FIP

The Mets' two superstars--Dominic Smith as the batting star and Noah Syndergaard as the pitching star--continue to deliver (19.5 WAR combined). Smith ended up winning the NL MVP and Syndergaard the NL Cy Young. I have to imagine this is one of the best historical pairings of a hitter and pitcher on the same team.

We will see if the Mets dynasty continues or if a new champion rises in 2021...
