Here are the final grades for the disappointing 2023 season for the Mets. The goal is to incorporate actual production, along with preseason expectations, as well as the individual’s role on the club. This means not all grades that are the same are equal. In order to qualify for a grade, a player needed to amass at least 100 PA or pitch 40 innings. Usually, 50 IP is the cutoff but there were pitchers who just missed that threshold who deserved a grade, in my opinion. This gives us 29 players to rate.
Pete Alonso – It’s always tough to grade Alonso because his HR and RBI numbers are so good and the rest of his numbers leave something to be desired. It seems fair to say that the end results didn’t match up with what was expected. Grade: B-
Francisco Alvarez – The power was good and the overall defense was way better than expected. But there’s a lot of growth left with his overall hitting and with his throwing. Still, the brass didn’t think he was worth a spot on the Opening Day roster and he finished with a 2.7 fWAR. Grade: B
