Good morning, Mets fans!

Mike Petriello of MLB.com talks about a new Statcast metric that looks at which pitchers are good or not so good at keeping base runners on first base and from abusing them in the running game. Petriello uses the example of runners versus Max Fried and runners versus Adam Ottavino.

The offseason continues to quietly creep on as the news stays quiet. Hopefully, the news starts to break and the offseason gets flowing shortly.
