2) Zach Pop

One of several pitchers the Mets used for a single game this year, Zach Pop was one of the more forgettable featured on the mound. He pitched against the New York Yankees on July 6. His 3 earned runs in 1.1 innings in a bullpen game started by Chris Devenski is one of those games that shouldn’t be easily forgotten for a ball club that missed the playoffs by a single victory.

Pop was the losing pitcher in this game, allowing a leadoff home run to Austin Wells in the third inning. It proved costly as the Mets fell to the Yankees 6-4.

Pop managed to latch onto the Chicago Cubs following his release from the Mets. In a small sample in Triple-A, he predictably had an ERA over 5.00.

The 2025 Mets season was historic for how the team set a record for using the most pitchers of any MLB history. Pop was one no one was excited for who was gone before we could even grow to become frustrated with how overused he became. Somehow his 20.25 ERA wasn’t even the worst of any Mets pitcher this year. Two of them had a 27.00 ERA, including one more you might have forgotten about.
