David Robertson has been the Mets’ most valuable pitcher this season, avoiding the kind of slumps that have sabotaged their high-end starters.
in a celebration at the World Baseball Classic and had surgery that is expected to keep him sidelined through the season.Robertson, 38, entered the day 2-2 with a 1.93 ERA and 12 saves in 34 appearances.Among relievers with at least 25 appearances, Robertson’s ERA was the ninth-lowest as the day began.
That was a discovery season of sorts for Robertson, who said he was still trying to figure out what he was capable of doing with his elbow after Tommy John surgery cost him most of 2019 and all of 2020.A severe bout of COVID-19 during spring training last year caused him to lose much of his muscle mass around the time his youngest child was born.
Robertson’s success largely has been predicated on a fastball that ranks in MLB’s 100th percentile for spin rate. Robertson’s swing-and-miss percentage is also among baseball’s best.
