Stat: Mets are Out of Control Late in Games
…if Jerry Manuel wants to identify a problem, and start working towards a solution, he may want to start here…
The Mets have the fourth-best OBP in the National League during the first six innings of a game, during which they have scored the third-most runs.
However, from the seventh inning on, the Mets have the third-worst OBP in the National League, during which they have scored the least number of runs.
In other words, the Mets hit well in the first six innings, but then shut down from that point on.
What’s worse, only four teams in the National League have allowed more runs than the Mets after the sixth inning.
Again, in other words, the Mets are in control through the first six innings, and then totally out of control after that.
In a post to Hot Foot, Andrew Beaton takes a closer look at each player’s stats with regards to late-game hitting.
