Mets Season in Review: Addison Reed

While he wasn’t their closer, Addison Reed was one of the most effective relief pitchers for the Mets throughout the 2016 season.
The 8th inning setup man doesn’t bring the same amount of sexiness or swagger that a team’s closer does, but Reed got the job done just about every time his name was called upon. We even wrote back in April about how dominant Reed had been so far in the season and that stayed true throughout the summer.
Being tied for most innings pitched by a Mets reliever last year with 77.2 (along with Jeurys Familia & Hansel Robles), Reed’s ERA never touched the 2 mark.
Since he was acquired by the Mets from the Arizona Diamondbacks on August 30, 2015, Reed pitched particularly well.
With the bullpen being one of the Mets most obvious areas needed for improvement, Reed is a bright spot. Pitching to a combined 3.38 ERA in 2015 and a World Series appearance, his earned run average was a full 3 points lower for New York than it was for Arizona (4.20 compared to 1.17). What could the Mets expect from Reed for the 2016 season?
