Former New York Mets pitcher and broadcaster Ron Darling has drawn a bold comparison between the team's current young pitching prospects and the franchise's recent aces Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom, according to a report published Saturday.
Darling, who won a World Series with the Mets in 1986, highlighted the potential of the organization's developing arms during a roundtable discussion. While specific details of the comparison were not disclosed, the analogy underscores the high expectations surrounding the Mets' pitching pipeline.
Harvey and deGrom each earned Cy Young Awards during their tenure in New York, setting a lofty benchmark for any incoming talent. The Mets' front office has prioritized building a sustainable rotation through the draft and international signings in recent years.
