Entering the season, arguably the biggest question mark surrounding the New York Mets was their starting rotation. After beginning the season strong, the unit has regressed mightily to where several feared it may project to be prior to the season.

Just under a decade ago, the New York Mets had a farm system stocked with electric starting pitchers that would later help carry the franchise to a World Series appearance. That core is long gone at this point, however, and for a team whose history is steeped in talent at the position, the Mets have had little to no success developing homegrown rotation arms in recent years. That promises to...
